Labor Day weekend

This was the weekend I chose to spend celebrating my birthday.  We had a mini-staycation.  On Saturday we ended up going to Perfect Games with Chris' brother's family.  We bowled, ate pizza, then played a ton of arcade games.  Chris had purchased a groupon a couple months ago that let us have 6 people bowl for 2 hours, 1 large specialty pizza and a $30 arcade card.  So, we chose to use that great deal.  Then we went out for ice cream.  On the way home Chris and I picked up a red box movie. 

On Sunday we got groceries, then headed to Des Moines to do a little shopping before we went to the I-Cubs game.  It was a lot of fun.  We had great seats and two of the tickets were free since I brought a group there this summer for work.  We splurged and got a never ending pop and pocorn, which was great until you wanted to refill either item and had to stand in line for 30 minutes.  Anyway, the seats were in the shade and the kids could see really well.  We all had a really fun time.

Monday we ended up heading to the dollar theatre and we watched Kung Fu Panda 2.  It was a pretty good movie.  I wasn't a huge fan of the first, but this one was better.

Prairiefest/Party

On August 27th Huxley celebrated Prairifest- Of all the fests, ours is the prairiest!  I ended up not running the 5k this year.  For multiple reasons- I haven't ran in forever... okay, that is about it.  I walked in the parade for Kids Club again this year.  Had a decent turn out with kids.  Caleb got to walk with us this year since he attends.  After the parade we trudged down to the festivities.  Chris and his family headed straight to the mud volleyball courts and I went to sign up Caleb and Carter for the pedal-tractor pulls.  Caleb and Carter really enjoyed the pedal-tractor pulls.  Chris' team won 1st place this year in the mud volleyball tournament.  The first time at Prairifest!  While they were playing I walked around the display booths, saw people I knew, watched Taylor and Kale in the pizza eating contest, and checked out the bounce houses.  Not a lot.  It was a very eventful day.

After volleyball was over we came back to the house.  Several people stayed to help celebrate my birthday and a few more arrived too.  I ended up having a smidgen too much Margarita mix and didn't really get to enjoy my party the way I would have liked.  Let's just say I was pretty much stuck in my chair and not feeling to hot the next day.  :0(  Oh, well.  Who wants to remember turning 30 anyway right?

On Sunday while I wasn't feeling to great, Claeb woke up very late and wasn't feeling well either.  He was sweating like he had a temp, but when I checked it, it was 94 degrees.  Weird.  So we googled and called everyone we knew to find out what was up with him.  I think we figured out that he might have just been hungry.  We don't think he ate much on Saturday while we were running around all day, then slept in so late that he didn't get breakfast right away.  So he ate 6 pancakes and we noticed he perked up a little after that.
