Today started at 8:00 a.m. Sweetly supported by Des and Costa.
9 am meeting, 7 chocolate candies and one melt down later, we found ourselves doing driving territory with grandpa. Who is the coolest guy to work out in service with.
Meeting was conducted by Brother Butz. There were (approximently) 20 people there.
Bonus: I got to see Des's puppy, who got mad at Baby Billy and Des had to show her that Billy wasn't an evil villain.
The melt down:
Who: Bella
When: after service meeting when she realized Costa wasn't working with us.
What: she wanted to give him a chocolate (half melted and bitten out of).
Why: costa was singing with her all morning, she wasn't ready to say good bye.
After service meeting, we had to stop at Nob Hill for apples (for the kids) and muffins (for grandpa.) around 11:30 Bella screamed out " I HAVE TO PEEEEEEE PANIC!!!!"
So we did. And we ran to jack in the box, where everyone peed and got something to eat.
Back into the territory. We drove up, up and more up a driveway that left us looking at 2 houses. One to our right, one to our left and a drive way going DOWN! I sent Koral and Billy to the house to the left and Grandpa to the right. Grandpa had a big, beautiful iron fence. He had no way of getting in, so he got a rock. And he was going to leave the invitation on the key box (code box) with a rock on top so the wind could not take it. Good idea grandpa! We then heard a little dog barking in protection, coming from the other side of the iron fence. "YAP YAP YAP YAP" grandpa looks up from his good-idea-task. Then another dog, then another, then another!!! Finally, the BIG one is barking and running fast. Grandpa starts running towards the van. 3 small dogs have squished their bodies UNDER the fence and their taking on grandpa, if they can catch him.
Grandpas laughing, and running screaming "I'm ok, as long as the big one dosent get me!"
Then he hops in the car, hand on the handle on the roof, ready to go, like Bo Duke. Im laughing. The little girls are laughing. It.was.great.
As if that's not enough action for one day, going down that giant drive way had no turn. I had to do all backing up. Which made me nervous. So grandpa tried guiding me, but I wasn't listening and couldn't stop giggling. So he reached over and grabbed the handle and told me to hit the gas. I'm sitting in the drivers seat, hands gently placed in my lap, foot on the break, laughing. Really hard. "Seroulsy?! You want me to let you drive this car back wards FROM the passenger seat?!?!?" He says "Yep." He dosent budge in laughter. He's serious! "What if we all die?!" I'm laughing and a little concerned at this point. He smiles and says "That's not going to happen. But if it does, you'll be dead, so you won't have to worry about being in trouble." And like a sweet dumb tag-along I say "Ok". LOL and gently push the gas!!!!! (How do the Martin boys take ALL THE LOGIC out of my head?!?) he did it. He guided me completely down, no problems, no issues, infact, he was board with how slow I was hitting the gas.
It was a great day! Lol always an adventure. Always! Lol
Oh yes, before I forget, grandpa and Fina were hiding in Carla's kitchen eating m&m's during the service meeting. Giggling and hiding. If it wasn't so darn cute, I would of been mad!
I included a picture of a goat wearing an orange coat. Why? Because its odd. And funny. Like my morning. :)
