We arrived in LaClede, IL for the Birthday Party and weiner roast about 6:00. They sure know how to build a fire. An entire tree trunk was burning. We roasted weiners, marshmallows and enjoyed the fire. It was a nice cool autumn evening.And then it was NIGHT!
When it got completely dark we all jumped on the haywagon and went for a wild ride through the woods, and up hills and over bridges. It was a beautiful starry night. The people on the hay wagon with us were a riot. We decided we should ride into Altamont and go to the McDonald's drive through and tell them we have 20 seperate orders, and then just order coffee.....of course, we didnt' do that, because we would have to ride down a main road, which actually wouldn't be a problem, since Altamont is a very small town, but we didn't know if the cops might coming driving after us.....so instead we listened to the many adventures Paul's wife and family have had through the years. We laughed so much our stomach hurt. It's a good thing Bill was holding onto me, because he hit a huge hole and my butt went flying off of the bale of straw....he's my hero....:-) We returned to the warm fire.
Ashley used to work for us at the ice cream shoppe, she was there too with her little girl, Jillian, and her husband, Jason. It was so good to see her again, I have known her since she was a little girl, funny how time flies. Anyway, it was a fun evening out in the cool October night and we enjoyed meeting some new friends and seeing some old ones too.
