Labor Day Week End

 I picked Katlin up at school Friday.  They got out early at 1.  So by the time we got back it was time to get on the road.  Jeanine and Lloyd had started a little before and Mary's were going with us.  I was really hot that day.  Had been in the mid 90's.  By the time we got to Aledo it hadn't cooled off much.  They lead us to a place to park but the electric didn't work.  So they said we could move to the hog barn.  That there was enough electric for all of  us to run our air.  Didn't work.  We got all leveled and set up and Dan checked our plug in and it was hot.  So then they decided we could move to where we were last year. No one else was parked their and again they were sure we could run the air.  Again they were wrong.  They tried really hard to make it work but didn't.  Didn't think we could find a park to move to what with the holiday so decided to stick it out.  I was OK once we got laid down and laid still.  We all had a fan.  The next morning they came and told us they had an electrician come and wire up enough spots so we could all have air.  So we all moved to the place they wanted us to camp at to begin with.  The air worked fine, however about an hour after we moved a cold front came through and it cooled down and we wouldn't have needed it.  However Dan said we were going to run it even if everyone had to have 3 blankets.  It didn't get that cold  but we all slept better that night.  That said the music was really good.  Our two favorite groups were Monroe Crossing ( see picture above) and the Harman Family .  Monroe Crossing all dressed like they would have in Bill Monroe's day.   We had a good time.  When we got home Sunday I got ready and went to Cindy's for a couple of days to have some Kyann time.  She is getting so grown up.  Here she is making M & M cookies with mom. 

We played outside some.  She is drawing with chalk.  Cindy made her a hop scotch board and she can do it but mostly she would just run.   They have three different sizes of tins (like you get popcorn or candy in) and they play the drums and march through the house.  Kyann starts out the leader but she is so fast she is bringing up the rear before you know it.  She started preschool on Wednesday.  She is going to have fun with that.  She is almost too smart for her own good.
