On Friday we made a yummy breakfast and then packed up a lunch of hogies and headed for Ross Park in Pocatello. A few were concerned about the weather because it was a bit breezy but after a while we decided to go try it. It was clear and sunny here but breezy. It looked the same toward Poky. WELL ... as soon as we got about a mile from the exit it started sprinkling and we could see a black cloud ... JUST OVER ROSS PARK! So we thought we'd just sit it out ... you could see blue sky's all around ... we were certain it would blow over! WELL ... it didn't. So we ate our lunch at a shelter next to the swimming area and hoped it would still blow over. WELL ... it didn't. It started to hail! I had a good time tho. I was really grateful for everyone's positive attitude that they had. It made me realize that we can really have a good time just being together no matter what we are doing. I do feel bad for those who got sick because of the cold. That isn't fun!
We decided to just come home and we shot some clay pigeons and the kids rode four wheelers and Barry's Rhino, and played in the sand box or jumped on the trampoline. Then each family made a dutch oven dish. We had a few different chicken meals done, potatoes, baked beans, corn bread, and peach cobbler. Barry and Alisa brought stuff for smores ... but we were all so full we didn't get around to that. (Sorry guys)
After we ate we took some family pictures and some goofy pictures of everyone. It was a lot of fun! They aren't in any particular order....
