Well, it's the end of a pretty good weekend - hot and humid, but good. Cory's parents arrived on Friday and left this morning. They came to enjoy Riverboat Days with us.

After supper on Friday, we headed to the festivities to look around. Mary (Cory's mom) wanted to sample deep fat fried Oreos, so we all tried them. Not really worth the sampling. Accalia also wanted to throw balls at the dunk tank that the Yankton Homeless Shelter had set up as a fundraiser. She did hit the target and dunked the local "celebrity". The best part - for Cory - is that the dunkee was a former State employee who is referred to as "the evil one" by my darling husband.

On Saturday, we headed out to watch the parade and waited and waited for it to begin. It finally did, and Accalia and Cole enjoyed parts of it (particularly the marching bands), but they were getting bored and hot and tired (temps were in the upper 90s yesterday and again today). So we headed to the park to eat lunch (pizza for Accalia, turkey sandwiches for me and Mary, turkey drumsticks for Cory and his dad, Myron). Then we headed out so Accalia could check out the kids' activities. Over the course of the weekend, she rode on a kiddie "train" and ferris wheel, bounced in a big inflatable room and rode on a miniature horse. We looked around at all of the crafts, too. We came back after supper so we could have ice cream from Cory's alma mater.

This morning, we went back after brunch (Cory's parents had left already) to look around a little more. Accalia picked out a wooden toolbox filled with wooden tools, and we got Cole a wooden truck. This afternoon has been fairly quiet so far. Cole just woke up from a monster nap, and Accalia has played upstairs most of the time. Cory and I watched a movie - One Hour Photo. We're heading out in a little bit to do a few things, but that's been our weekend!
