A Family Night to Remember...

Last night the entire family came over to our house to go to the Lake County Fair! Grandma and Grandpa Paulsen, Uncle Jeff and Kyle (in town from Colorado), Angie, Kevin & Abigail, and Mom and Dad! What a great time and a night to remember!

This is the four generations...Great-Gma Pat, Grandma Grupe, Angie, and Abigail...

Here is Great-Gpa with little 6 week old Abigail...she is so darn cute!

Grandma and Grandpa Grupe...who are still on cloud nine!

Me loving every minute with Abigail! I wish I could steal her, but I suppose if I wait 5 more months I will have my own. :)

Me and my fabulous husband after a hilarious night...read below for the story of the entire night!

So, the entire family came over for a night at the fair...well things did go so much as planned, but we did make it to the fair. Grandma and Grandpa did get to see Abigail and we all had a great time or at least I can speak for myself, but I am sure the rest would agree...

Jeff, Kyle, Dad, and Mom all walked to the Fair (~5 blocks from our house) and JR, Angie, Kevin, Abigail and I all drove incase it started storming. Grandma and Grandpa headed home when we all left for the fair (they were at the house for about 2 hours). First we get to the fair and mom tells us to call her so we can find them. Her phone didn't pick up (either roaming or no service) and Dad didn't bring his with him...who knows why? But we start walking around and find them getting sweet corn, yum! We all ended up getting some, but the 4 walkers all ate right when they got there. So we were hunting food down for the rest of us...no sooner do we get to where all the food is and all the venders are shutting down because there are tornado warnings out! So we all split up to find get what we want to eat and head home (this is within 10 minutes of being there)...Mom, Ang take Abigail back to the car. JR gives them the keys to drive back since we are starving...while I am getting my food JR realizes he gave them the wrong keys in his pocket. He leaves me to get my food to run after them to get them the right keys so they don't get rained on...he caught up to them about 50 feet from the car, they are panicked so he stays with them and drive them home. At this point, Dad, Kyle and Jeff start walking home and the rain has begun. I am by myself with my food and seek shelter as soon as the rain starts. Luckily I found myself in the Art & Crafts shelter so it was at least interesting to me. BUT I had no service and when I did get some service I was roaming so I couldn't find out where everyone else was...I assumed they all took cover like I did. WRONG! After sitting in the shelter for about 30 minutes I finally hear from Mom and JR...EVERYONE is at home except for me! HAHAHAA! I told them I would call when they were letting us leave the shelter I was in and JR could come pick me up. I waited another 25 minutes or so and decided I was going to have to get wet or I would sit there forever! I called JR told him I was on the way and to pick me up in a parking lot across the street from the fair grounds. As I am walking he drives right passed me thinking that I was part of a bunch of high school girls running...little did I know that 5 girls from the shelter I was sitting in followed me out and where behind me the entire time...So he had to turn around and get me. When I got home I was wet, but not soaked...I see Kevin in JR's robe, Uncle Jeff & Kyle in JR's clothes, and the best of all...Dad in a towel! It was hilarious! They apparently were SOAKED because they walked in the crazy windy tornado storm. BOYS! Anyway, we all hung out until their clothes were dry. We were playing guitar hero and having fun with little Abigail. What a night to remember...Family Fun and being Stranded at the Fair! Good times!
