historymaker

despite the fact that historymaker was in Chilliwack this year, rather than Kamloops (about four hours less travel time) mom still didn't fancy taking me and ollie for the whole weekend. this may have had something to do with the fact that dad was camping with the youth group and the rain was torrential. we did go and visit for the day though.

the music was great and i did some good dancing, ollie was very cute bouncing along in his jolly jumper, dad seemed at least reasonably pleased to see us and mom even got to go to a yard sale. ollie and i were in the double stroller walking along the street in the pouring rain (it was nap time!!) and mom was telling the lady she was with how the one thing we were looking for right now was an affordable bike trailer. right across the street from the arena where historymaker was taking place there was a yard sale happening - kind of strange given the weather - and there sitting in the rain was 'our' bike trailer. dad did express some concern about how on earth we were going to get it home, but after mom had pointed out the youth group had eaten an awful lot of the snacks that were taking up space in the car on the way dad thought it would be okay. all we need now is for the weather to improve enough for us all to go on a bike ride, and ollie's head to grow enough to fit my first cycle helmet.

on the plus side we got to hear the desperation band and starfield, and meet lots of nice people. the youth group had a great time too, despite the rain. on the down side dad ended up sleeping in the car our tent leaked so much, and then the car died on the last day.
