We attended a balloon glow in Presque Isle, a first for us. There were seven balloons at the event. I have included several pictures here. The following morning at 5:30 they were to have lift off. As we are not early risers, we missed the big send off.
Allan has been going to the races since we have been in Caribou, which he has enjoyed. This week it was very different. They had a demolition derby.
There was a chain race where the front car had the power but no brakes and the car that was chained behind it, had the brakes, but no power. Other than that it was a normal race. Next there was a sack race where the drivers had a sack over their heads so they could not see and there was a navigator riding with them telling them where to drive. These cars were all over the place and almost hit the safety truck in the in-field. There was also a monster truck that looked like a giant lobster that was jumping several cars.
It was very entertaining.
One evening the church gave us a big thank you for volunteering in the construction of the new building. We knew they were planning a meal for us, but what a surprise!! As we walked in we were greeted by one of these servers in formal attire who escorted the ladies to our table.
At the entry the menu was posted like you were in a fancy restaurant.
The room was decorated with tiny white lights. In this picture you can see some of the lights and the table setting.
They presented each lady with a beautiful rose.
What a wonderful meal. They made the event very special which included entertainment, too which we appreciated very much.
Pastor Tony has turned 40 and the church members and Angela, his wife, wanted to have a surprise birthday party for him. The building was far enough along toward completion that they were able to have it in the new building.
Here is the burning of the cake. So many candles!
They played a game of Jeopardy with his mother, his father-in-law, and his best friend growing up who is now the youth pastor to see who knew him best. His mother won! It was a fun party.
The RVer's have worked hard, but they have had time for fun, too.
