So...we ventured down to Dickson Street yesterday afternoon to see what all the hype was all about. We wanted to watch the parade but only caught the tail end due to the Hog game (what a disappointment). Anyway, we borrowed a backpack carrier from one of the Doctors that I work for and boy was it a lifesaver! Thanks Sarah and Jeffrey!! We got a lot of looks, mostly from parents who were brave enough to bring a stroller down there and people just kept saying, what a great idea! Wyatt had a blast, he loved looking at all the motorcycles and doing some people watching. I wasn't sure if the revving of the engines would scare him or not, but it didn't seem to bother him. As for Freemon and myself, we both agreed that it wasn't as fun as it used to be. Was it because we weren't hanging in the beer garden the ENTIRE time or was it maybe because now that we have a family we realize that a friggin corndog, cotton candy (both my favorites) some BBQ and a soda shouldn't cost a fortune?! Whatever it was, we stayed down there for about an hour and then decided to save our hard earned cash and go eat at our favorite mexican restaurant in Elkins, Rio Grande!

We live right off of Highway 16, so we get to hear the motorcyles roar in and roar out. It was funny, last night we were laying in bed around 11 ish and Freemon said, "you hear that?" We could hear the roar of motorcyles from who knows where. He said that our house is about 14 miles from his work (down on 6th st) and he thought maybe that was some of the noise from Dickson!! I don't know about that...but boy were they loud! I am happy to have the bikers here to help boost our economy, but I am happy to see them go too! I know that not all bikers are rude, but this one particular FAT biker chic yesterday bumped into me and I just looked at her and a few seconds later she says in a rude voice, "well, excuse me!" I guess she didn't realize the 6'4" guy standing right next to me was my husband, and he could have put the hurt on her! lol Anyways, all in all it was a nice time, good to get out of the house and a great experience for Wyatt.

Well, better get ready for some football. Freemon's beloved Packers are playing today, my Titans are playing and my brother Trey's 49 ers are playing too...so hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday afternoon! Maybe I can catch a quick nap while my boys watch football!!
