We had great plans this weekend to head to Ames and see Thomas the Train and enjoy the ISU game. However, the rain had other plans! Macalan had been looking forward to seeing Thomas so we went anyway. It was cold, rainy, and crowded. They were charging $18 to ride for twenty minutes and do the activities. Luckily we found out right as we were about to leave that we could do the kid's activities for only $5. We managed to get a tattoo on Mac's hand and check out the petting zoo before deciding that none of us were really having any fun. There's always next year I suppose! I did snap a picture of Thomas pulling out with all the suckers who decided to spend what I thought was an arm and leg for a short ride and not very exciting activities. Can you tell I have a bad attitude about this experience!? :)
It was intended that Sutton would have his first tailgating experience too, but it was so rainy and cold we decided to hang out with some friends who live in Ames. It was nice to be in a warm house with a clean bathroom and not a port-o-potty! Later in the day the tailgating sites were getting closed down because it was so wet. I'm glad we didn't waste our time trying to set up. I guess we'll try again next weekend.
I included a picture of Macalan showing off his Percy tattoo that he got at the Thomas the Train event. He was pretty proud of himself. He was also having fun making an Oreo, turkey, cheese, and cracker sandwich!
I am crossing my fingers that we'll have a better week this week. Last week was so crazy with all the rain and water in the basement. Right now we have the padding in the garage ready to be thrown out and every available storage bin holding up the carpet so it can dry out. Eventually we'll have the carpet relayed. I just hope this doesn't happen again! I really can't feel too bad for our situation though. I saw pictures of what other people are dealing with and we're pretty lucky.
