Yesterday Austin, Mason and I went to the Farm Progress Show. It was so big with so many people. There is no way one person could see everything in one day.
Mason did surprising well. He now likes to yell to get people's attention. We were walking thru the varied industries building and he is just yelling. People would turn around and smile at him so he would smile back. As soon as that person looked away he would start yelling again.
Mason was good and Austin misbehaved. A husband misbehaving is much more embarrasing than your child being naughty. It was a farm show so there was a lot of women. Let me rephrase that a lot of farm wives and I could just hear them "Well I never. How can she let her husband behave that way. Doesn't she have him trained?" It wouldn't have been as embarrasing but there were several people around that I knew. I am almost afraid to go to the store now because I know I will get looks. Maybe I will just refuse to go and make Austin.
We got there early, around 9. I know you would think living only about 15 minutes from there we could have been there earlier but nope. Didn't happen.
We parked in row 12 so we weren't that far from the gates. Stupid state patrol blocked the quickest way home too. I don't know if they were worried about people parking on the railroad tracks or what but they closed about 6 miles of highway 17 north of the show. Austin and I had to turn around and go clear into Boone to get home. Believe it or not it was a whole lot quicker than having to go clear into Ames and then north. O'well. We got over it. Well at least I did.
Mason and I only got a little bit sun burned. Mason today is just a nice golden color while I am still pink. I won't be tan until tomorrow.
We got home about 3 and then did nothing all afternoon. Austin didn't start working on the bathroom until right before supper. I think just so that he can say he worked on it.
I am just glad we went yesterday and not today. We only got about half an inch of rain but that is enough to turn the Farm Progress Show into a mud pit.
