Still recovering from a weekend of FUN!

This past weekend was stuffed full of adventure and plain old fun! I took Friday off from work and we headed out to stay at my parents house for a fun three day weekend. Friday I helped my sister make jam and syrup with the apricots that we picked earlier in the week. On Tuesday I made pancakes for lunch to try some of the syrup and it is sooooo yummy.

Friday night my sisters, Mom and I all went to a "Breaking Dawn" party and waited in lines for wedding cake and to get the book at midnight! My younger sister (Liz) and Mom pooped out and didn't last until midnight so it was just Angie and I. We won a chance to play in a frozen t-shirt contest, it was sooooooo fun. Neither of us won, but we got to keep our frozen black t-shirts! We also scored some pretty cool stickers too. The party we went to also had live music and lots of fun games and trivia about the Twilight Serries. It was so much fun. I am about 1/3 of the way done with the book and am dying not being able to just sit for a day and read it all at once.

Don't mess with "Vampires Amanda"
Saturday we all went to a family reunion in the early afternoon and then we went to the local county fair. Lilly had her first experience with a clown and wasn't too freaked out, he even made her a balloon animal - a pink poodle with a leash. Lilly thought her poodle was the best ever, she walked around the fair going "Arf, Arf"
We decided to try out our hiking backpack at the fair, Lilly loved it!

Saturday night my parents offered to watch Lilly for us and we went on a date! We hadn't been on a date for a looooooooong time and it was a total blast! We went to a demolition derby. I was laughing so hard at the carnage and crashing that my eyes were watering. Our favorite car almost won. It was this old station wagon that an 18 year old guy driving, he was totally agressive and awesome. The best part of the car was the number, number 2. If anyone knows Mike they know that he does like to joke about #2 :) :)

Car Number 13 was the winner of the demoliton derby, this driver was so crazy! One of the highlights was a girl came in 3rd place! I totally want to try a little demolition derby now, I thought the figure eight racing look like my kind of sport. :)
