Karl and the Trolley!

Saturday evening Karl was a wonderful brother in law and volunteered to drive the tractor trolley at the fair. Clark gets a discount on the year band fees if he gets volunteers to drive 2 trolley shifts. My mom was supposed to drive Friday night but lucked out and due to a mix up in scheduling 4 people showed up to drive so she got out of it. She has put in her time in the past years though! It must be a "guy thing" because Karl said it was fun! Karl drove the tractor from the parking area to the fair entrance and back. He only knocked over 1 cone! My brother was a conductor. After the evening of work the two went into the fair and shared a fried Twinkie and fried Oreo...again another "guy thing!"
We purchased a toddler bed at the Salvation Army and are very proud of the purchase. After some cleaning it looks like a new bed. Matt loves his bed and took a great 2 hour nap in it right after we set it up in his room. We decided to let him nap in it when he wants and sleep in the crib at night. It is a good thing we have awhile before we need the crib because the past 2 days he won't sleep in bed and only wants to "play sleep." He keeps getting out of bed at nap time and playing in his room until we put him in the crib. We are not worried, if Matt can't make the transition to the bed yet we will just have to look at the Salvation Army for another crib!!
Karl and I finally saw Harry Potter this afternoon. My dad and brother came to watch Matt. Good movie but a lot was left out or not covered completely. Overall it was good...how can you condense a 600+ page book into a 2 hour movie.
Hope everyone had a great long weekend!
