We started out on Friday night going to Fiddlers'. Just as we were pulling into my in-laws' house to get our tickets, the tornado siren started going off. So we piled out of the van and went inside to wait it out. Soon Laura came home and then her friend Kayla, and then The Mills'. So we drank some beer and watched the storm. So Fiddlers' got an hour and a half late start (9:30 p.m.). We had a great time listening to great music and mucking around the wet Battlefield. We got to visit with our favorite Seattle band, Foghorn. But we didn't get home until 1:20 a.m. And the kids were still awake!!! We then slept for about 3 hours and got back up around 4:30 to leave for Cleveland to see Brian's cousin receive his black belt. The kids did great all things considered. They slept most of the six hour drive and we only stopped twice. The second stop was hard. We pulled off just about 20 miles before their house and we got in a wreck!!! Just as we were getting ready to pull into a gas station a van pulled out in front of us and stopped-- we t-boned them. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the front of my van is wrecked. The other guy's van had to get towed away because it was really bad! We still made it in time for the black belt ceremony. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and hanging out with our family. It was cold and rainy for much of the weekend, so we didn't do a lot of outdoor things. But we did go hiking (and we got poured on!!) and we went shopping. We watched lots of movies and ate LOTS of delicious Italian food. Brian also made yummy pizza and a cherry pie with hand picked cherries from their yard!
