- I am a fool! While at Newtown Battlefield, I began jogging and yelled, "Race ya!" to my brother, Mike. (Of course, I was already ahead of Mike when I asked him to race). Running at full speed, I looked back to see how close Mike was to me, and I totally tripped on the uneven ground, fell hard on my side, and bounced. Laughing and crying at the same time, Mike came over and tickled me. I learned 3 things from this:
1) Do NOT challenge your bigger (yet younger) brother to a race.
2) Even with a head start, you WiLL LoSE.
3) Crashing into the grassy ground will earn you well deserved grass stains on your favorite jeans (not to mention total public humiliation).
P.S. My shoulder still hurts from this foolishness.- Pit Stop?! On our drive up to Palmyra for the Hill Cumorah Pageant, we stopped to get gas. Brian really needed to tinkle, so I took him inside the convenient store to find the potty. Can you believe that there wasn't a public potty at a place called, PiT SToP!!! They totally need to change their name 'cuz it's very misleading!
- HoLY Special Effects! So we were sitting back enjoying the Hill Cumorah Pageant (Sam and my boys' first time to the show). My boys were loving the experience; staying up past bedtime, being outside at night, seeing all the actors dressed up, etc. Suddenly, Samuel the Lamantite declared, "There will be thunder and lightning..." whereupon we immediately received thunder, lightning, and huge droplets of precipitation. All I can say 'bout that is HoLY SPeCiAL eFFeCTS! And one more thing: Our ride home was an uncomfortably wet one.

WoW, that is pretty cool! Sounds like you guys are enjoying your trip, hope to see ya soon :D BTW, your house is still standing :D
Ouch!! Yet funny about your little race with your brother. :) That sucks about the gas station. I hate it when you're not home and kids have to go and you have nowhere to take them. Glad that you're having a fun time. Good luck with your allergies when you get back to Utah. :)
i totally pictured you falling.. i may or may not have laughed at your misfortune...
So sorry about the race. Though, I must admit it sounds like something I'd do. If I had a brother. And loved the Pageant story. Holy Special Effects is right! ; )
