Week Rundown (08/21/2011-08/27/2011)


Sunday

The kids went to church with Aunt Abigail. Lydia and were still in Branson, and didn't pick up the kids until this afternoon. Mysia and Malachi didn't get much of a nap, so evening services were interesting to say the least!


Monday

Lydia started her new schedule today since college classes started back up! She was up and outta the house before the kids got up. I took Malachi to daycare, Mysia to Granny's, and then I headed to work.

After meeting back at home, we headed out the the Mitchell's house to visit and talk about children's services for Wednesday nights. The kids played in their pool. By the time we got home, the kids were exhausted!


Tuesday

After work I picked up Mysia and met Lydia and Malachi at Mysia's school. Today was 'Meet the Teacher'. Mysia was excited to get to see where she'll be having 1st grade classes, and was very pleased to find out that two of her dear friends from Kindergarten will be in her class this year.

I let the kids play on the playground for a few minutes before we headed home. We ate, got some chores done, gave the kids showers and put them to bed.


Wednesday

I dropped off Mysia at Granny's for day. It's her the last time since school starts tomorrow!

The day went by fast, and church services were good.


Thursday

Today was Mysia's first day at school. She was excited! Of course, I took pictures!

This evening, I took the chance and was able to mow the entire lawn! It sure needed it! Lydia had homework to do, so she worked on that for most of the evening.

Before going to bed, we packed our stuff for the weekend since we are going back to Branson! We're looking forward to it!


Friday

After dropping off the kids to daycare and school, I headed to work. I got a few things done, and then headed to Silver Dollar City with Kyle. KWFC was handing out our fans to everyone in the theme park since they're having the Southern Gospel Picnic (festival). My duty was to stand out in the sun in front of the Boatworks Theatre and try to make sure everyone got one. I had a blast! I got to heckle people who walked by.

Later in the afternoon, I got to see the Chuck Wagon Gang. Lydia picked up the kids and headed toward the park. I met up with my folks and got hear Albert E. Brumley, Jr. sing and then met up with Lydia. Lydia had ran into the Mitchells, so we saved them a seat.

The evening concert was the Booth Brothers. They put on a great concert! We left shortly after intermission and went to our hotel. We swam and played in the indoor waterpark for a few hours before going to our room to bed.


Saturday

We got up, watched some Disney channel, and then headed out for some breakfast. The pools didn't open until 10, so we figured we'd eat first! We again spent several hours at the pool area before heading back to Silver Dollar City around 2:30. Since they didn't get the chance yesterday, we let the kids ride several rides.

Around 4, Greg and I headed to the Crane Broiler Festival, leaving our wives and kids at Silver Dollar City. We stopped at a gas station in Crane to change into our singing clothes (vest & tie). We met up with Abigail and Sam, and our quartet did our set at 5:15. There were several friends (and family) that had came to hear us. Like usual, the sun was beating down and it was hot.

After singing, Greg and I headed back to SDC to see the last show of the evening.... GOLD CITY! As we were walking in the parking lot, we could hear Tim Riley going for those low notes on "Under Control"! It was awesome!

We met up with our families, and got to hear the last part of Gold City's concert. Those guys are GOOD!

The kids fell asleep on the way back to the hotel, so we went straight to bed.
