Our weekend in Jackson

Our trip to Jackson a couple of weeks ago was filled with excitement and lots of activities.  Glen drove in from McMinnville early Saturday morning and rode with us to Jackson.  We drove straight to a skating rink in Jackson for Tori's birthday party.  They had rented it for two hours so that there were no other parties going on at the same time.  I'm not sure if that was for the benefit of the little kids or for the adults who ventured to see if they could remember how to skate.  :-)  There were a few falls here and there with a few bruises, but for the most part, everyone came out okay.  The important thing was that Tori and her friends had a great time.  Courtney had not skated in a long time, particularly since her back surgery, so she used a trainer device and Kelsey walked with her.  Kelsey could not skate due to her still recovering from her shoulder surgery.

We left the birthday party and went to McAllister's Deli for lunch, then back to Christy and Phillip's for the afternoon.  We went to Trace's basketball game later in the day and then Jennifer and I went to the church celebration dinner at their church.  The theme was based on the Emmy Awards with a lot of Hollywood decorations, the red carpet for award winners to walk down, and movie trivia contest.  Christy played the role of a host, Phillip was in charge of the music, video/picture presentation for award winners, and the movie trivia contest, and Kelsey sang "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" with Landis playing an acoustic guitar.  The night was a big success and everyone had a great time.  Jenn and I stayed after the dinner and helped clean up and put away chairs, tables, decorations, etc.  Glen and Peggy kept the kids at home so that we could all enjoy the dinner.




Glen and Peggy headed back early Sunday morning and stopped by our house to get Glen's truck.

We headed back home a little later Sunday morning and we all had a safe trip.  Courtney and I went to the awards ceremony for our bowling league and she won an award for the girl with the highest handicap game (245) - (She bowled a 125 with a handicap of 120).

It was a great weekend and everyone had a good time.
