Air show

So I went to the airshow last Saturday with my family. I had quite the adventure. My dad, my sister, and I went walking around to look at all the planes. Some of them we could go inside so that was really neat. There was this huge carrier plane that we decided to go into and we were just walking up the steps when the engines started up. They were really loud. People weren't exactly sure what to do and then three pilots came tearing up the stairs beside us telling everyone to get off the plane. So we had to run down the stairs and away from the plane until they could shut off the engines. It was really funny. That's definately not something that happens every day. And hey...it gave me a story to come home with.

Creation Fest

So I just got back from Creation Fest last weekend. It was a great time....even though it was insanely hot. While we were there I claimed the "cow blog." Enjoy....
The first night we were there we couldn't camp on Creation grounds so we stayed at a campsite nearby. Since we had to get up early we all decided to sleep under the stars....too much work to put the tents up only to tear them down in a few hours. It was beautiful!!! I've never seen so many stars. By quarter to five in the morning we were all awake. The sun was rising....the birds were singing....the bats were squeeling....the cows were, well I guess you could say mooing. I don't think I've ever heard cows make this sound before....almost like a super excited, high pitched moo. We lay there in our sleeping bags killing ourselves laughing imagining what the cows were doing. I think the rest of the campers were probably ticked at us because sound curfew was still in effect for another hour....but we just couldn't stop. I still can't stop.
Oh, and an add on to Tysey's blog.....that Fred guy grabbed Rose's Canada hat and put it on his head, giving her his supervisor hat. They had to switch back though....I guess he needed his hat. On the last night Tysey and Rose helped with take down and so I didn't see them till the morning we left. When I woke up Rose was wearing Fred's hat. I think she still has it. I thought that was kind of funny.
It was a good trip. I got to know everyone way better and I got to know myself better too. Even though we were only there for six days I have so many memories....cows, waterfights, the underside of Terry's truck, the music....
