Got to Stratford at about 6pm Friday. Adam's mom and sis took Lily to Brandon's ballgame while Adam and I met his dad downtown. They were having ATV pulls. This was probably one of the strangest things I've ever seen people excited about watching. Each type of vehicle tries to pull this weighted trailer and see's how far they can pull it. The trailers weight progressively moves up and up while they drive, making it harder to pull. Well, anyway it was loud and smelly so we didn't stay too long. The bar there had mixed drinks for only $2. So, I had to malibu OJ and Adam had 2 whiskey sours. The game had been rained out so the rest of the crew met us there too. After a little bit we hunted down Lily who was with Michelle and her friend. It was raining a little so we didn't go on any rides or anything yet. We wanted to take Lily on a merry-go-round but decided to wait til tomorrow. Lily did have lots of fun at the playground there. It was really cool...instead of sand or cedar chips the playground grounds were made of tons of little pieces of tires so it was really bouncy. Lily liked a teeter totter they had there and even bounced on it with a little boy for a while. She also liked throwing the tire pieces around. It kept on raining so we ended up going home much earlier than planned and were in bed before 10:30.
Lily's cute moment of the day: While watching "Play with me Sesame" they were explaining what echos were...she was in the room by herself and was running around saying "Echo! Echo!"
