We had the kids’ fish fry on Saturday the eighth of August. There were about 120 people in attendance – it was a good time. The weather was perfect all morning and afternoon. We set up ladderball and two games of horseshoes. Also set up a couple of tents and started frying the wings and fish and fresh cut french fries – then just as luck would have it the weather turned and it rained! Now this didn’t come as much of a surprise because it has been raining all summer long in PA. So the party was set to start at 4pm and the rain came right on time – 3:55 !!!! Couldn’t have worked out any better :)
Well – we ate, and talked, and ate some more – there was enough food for an army and I am not exagerating! There was plenty of food. Then it kept on raining…. and drizzling…. at least we didn’t have any tornados or any strong winds….just rain!
The party came to a slow end as people collected their soaking, soppy children and took them home for baths.
We did have one incident – a robbery – that the story need not all be told but Lydia’s bike, our fire ring and yes- Troy’s cell phone all went on hiatus for a day – fortunately we knew who took them and they were all returned – but not until after the purchase of a new phone – so the lesson learned is not to trust family that you thought you could or the friends that come with them. And when having to approach the said subject it doesn’t give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
All in all, it was a great day – sorry no pictures – my camera took a kerplunk and the new one is on order.
