Saturday Fun Day

Saturday morning I got a hankering for Sandy's pizza buffet.  I invited Heather and Zoe to go with me cause they love Sandy's just as much as I do!  We got there early and the place was dead :(  There was one couple already there and then another couple came in while we were there.  This was not good for us cause the buffet didn't get replenished often.  While the food was good, I've come to the conclusion that ordering off the menu is much better!

Later Saturday evening we headed back over to the Robinson's for dinner and to hang out.  I figured since we weren't going to be gone that long that I would take Hershey and Reese with us.  We obviously don't take the dogs for car rides often enough because they can't sit still in the car!  LOL!! Reese was cracking me up sitting in the back window!

We had yummy corn on the cob, grilled hot dogs, and smoked chicken for dinner!  The Robinson-Bell's were hard at work before we got there putting up corn for the year.  

Part of the group for the "annual" watermelon picture!  HAHA!

Goodnight Robinson-Bell's :)  Hee!!  Thanks for always having the Glenn-Bell's over for dinner and to visit!  We love hanging out with everyone!

Hangin' with Heather @ Friday After 5

 Friday afternoon I took a half day vacation to go to my friend Heather's to swim.  It was another pool day bust :(  The pool water and the weather wasn't cooperating with us at all.  It really hasn't been all summer!  We did have a great time visiting and talking though.  We ended up heading to Owensboro for their Friday After 5 again.  

I offered to drive since Bowen had Heather's car for work, but she said she would drive and watching her try to parallel park the big barge truck totally had me cracking up!  After attempting, well attempting and not attempting, a couple parking spots, we ended up paying to park in the parking garage next to the Riverpark Center.  I wish I would of gotten a picture of said attempted parking jobs!  LOL!!

We had to partake in the free photobooth fun!

Last week when Bethie and I were down at the playground area with Gavin we saw this guy walk by.  He was definitely an interesting character.  I spotted him again Friday when Heather and I were down there.  I was right, he was an interesting character and made the evening very entertaining!  The "Shawn-look-a-like" definitely added to the entertainment too!  HAHA!!  While I didn't get a picture of him, I have video!  I'll try to add the video to the end of this blog post.

They also had a hula hoop contest and water balloon toss!

And a toast to the sunset on the river! A truly amazing sunset and beautiful evening!

 It is so much fun hanging out down at the Owensboro riverfront!  That new park and downtown development is amazing!  Can't wait for next Friday night!  Heather and I are dragging Bowen and Shawn down their for 70's big hair bands music!

I didn't take these last two pics, but found them on the Friday After 5 Facebook page.  We made it into a water balloon toss photo!  HAHA!  And I would so love to have a boat and be sitting out with all of the other boats during this event!

Trucks & Heros

Saturday Gavin and I got up early, but not as early as planned (haha!) and went to the 2nd annual SMILE on Down Snydrome's Truck and Hero's Event.  We went last year and had alot of fun and I wanted to take him again this year, plus Uncle Shawn was working the WOW booth at it again!

  I was surprised with Gavin this year though.  The loud noises and sirens of all the trucks didn't bother him and he didn't need to wear his "earplanes", and he actually got in alot of the trucks for pictures, unlike last year and didn't really even want to get near the trucks.

You can read about last year's event here.

I tried to get Gavin to put the helmet on for a picture, but it was squishing his little ears so this is as far as it would go on.  Love that crazy looking face too!

 

Aunt Stace's favorite truck ;)  The Kona Ice truck!  And I didn't even get one :(

They have a golf cart shuttle you can ride around in!  It's probably one of my favorites too!  Reminds me of driving around the golf cart in New Harmony!  We need to do that again!
