Night out on the town

Today was a pretty fun day. During our lasagna dinner Sydney managed to get some garlic toast crumbs in her sleeves. We usually have her get down and go wash in the bathroom. When Keresa told her to get down and wash she said, "Ok, but I need help." Keresa told her no, just go wash by yourself. Sydney gave her a very tender face, and on the verge of tears said, "But there's bread in my sleeves." It was very sad, but too funny to hold back and we both had to cover our faces so she wouldn't see us laughing. I finally had to get up and take some dishes into the kitchen so I could let the laugh out.

It was raining so hard we decided to go out for a drive and watch the rain. While we were out Jackson decided to practice some words. So he was going back and forth with 'awesome' and 'dude.'
"Awesome. Dude. Awesome. Dude. Dude. Awesome. Aw-- Aws--Aw-- App..? Applebees? Applebees. APPLEbees. "

Our rainy drive took us to Dairy Queen. We have never eaten in, just gone to the drive through. We thought we would shake things up a bit and try it out inside.

Inside Dairy Queen we enjoyed very loud Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw songs. The people all around spoke loudly and laughed a lot. It sounded like we were inside some wild west saloon or something. Then a group of coal miners in their late 40s all sat down. They were pretty calm. But then we heard a knock at the door (who knocks at Dairy Queen?). A guy threw the door open and shouted (imagine the voice of Tow Mater on Cars) "Well Heeee-LOOOOw all!! Hay-owz eh-vrrr-bah-dee doo-inn tuh-naya-tt!?" And he looked all around. Now the coal miners all seemed to raise their Blizzards in a toast to Clyde, and everyone saw just how loud and full of energy this group could be once their ring leader joined them. We overheard lots of, "tlr vrrmn eeelrhall mrrln grrdil leekn Obama." I think they were talking that they liked him, but I could really only make out that one word.

Just another fun evening in Grundy!
