Yesterday was a fairly okay day. We decided to check out the festivities at Czech Days in nearby Tabor. Note: Never go to local festivals early on in the day because there's ABSOLUTELY nothing going on! We went in the morning because there was a kiddie parade scheduled, and Accalia always has a blast at parades. We got there just a little after it was supposed to start, so I think we missed the majority of the parade. Or most likely there wasn't much to begin with. We found a prime spot at the end of the route, though, where Accalia and Cole were the only kids and the people on the floats threw tons of candy at us. That made her very happy.

Cory took the kids out for about 45 minutes in the afternoon. Wouldn't tell me what they were doing. He came back with a freshly washed van, though. He's doing the same thing again today with the kids - minus washing the van, I'm sure - so maybe I'll find out what's going on. I was just going to relax when they left, but I realized that I still had to answer my online help forms for LLL. I'm seriously considering taking a break from answering them. Not that it hasn't been rewarding - there's one woman who keeps in touch and has for probably a year now. It's just too much on top of my CLA duties.

In the evening, we went out to the lake where there was a childrens' concert being put on by Penny and Pals. It was very cute, and Accalia loved dancing along to the music. Penny invited all of the kids up to the front of the stage to follow along with the motions, and Accalia hooked up with a little boy and danced with him the entire time. There are actually two more kids' concerts scheduled over the next couple weeks in various spots, so I think we're going to try to go to those.

It's raining and lightning and thundering right now. Cole got me up at 6:30 a.m. but is back in bed after less than an hour of being up. Everyone else is still asleep, too. I think I'll take advantage of this and hop in the shower.
