(Ok so this was a Nate-ism and Lindsey-ism.)
While driving in the car today.
Nate: You know what I'm really going to enjoy about moving back west?
Lindsey: Del Taco?
Nate: No, Carl's Jr.
Apparently we don't care about being closer to family and friends, living in a place newer than the 1800's, having 2 cars, etc. All we care about is food!
P.S. Nate had never seen the movie Holes. So tonight I made him watch it. I kept asking him "is that how your work does it?" I think he was starting to get annoyed. But he laughed when my dad's favorite part of the movie came on:
Warden as a little girl: I'm tired of this grandpa!
Grandpa: that's too dang bad, you keep diggin'!
He said he could see why it was my dad's favorite part, and he said he could see my dad being that cranky old grandpa someday ;)
Tractor Pull.
Monday July 8,
The Franklin County Fair in Chambersburg was going strong this week. Nate and I learned there was a tractor pull Monday night and figured we better go since 1- neither of us had been and 2- it was on a night where Nate didn't work so we could actually go together!
I must admit, the people here are a whole different breed than they are in Idaho. The rednecks in Idaho are MUCH classier than here. And I am being completely serious.
We enjoyed the tractor pull and had a few laughs. I think our favorite part was the pickups trying to pull...and breaking. They were entertaining and proved that the Dodge is not the toughest truck.

21 week and STILL puking.
I feel like I could write a version of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" only call it "The Very Pukey Pregnant Lady".
Because just when I think there will be no more of this vomiting...it returns.
"On Monday she laid on the couch all day, but she was still puking.
On Tuesday she ate only toast and grapes, but she was still puking.
On Wednesday she slept till noon, but she was still puking."
Ok, so it isn't really this bad and I feel better most of the time. I actually don't think I was sick at all last week!
But like today, we sat down to eat dinner and I was maybe 5 bites in when I asked Nate to please go get the trash can. Up it all came and I felt miserable for a few minutes and then all returned to normal and I went right back to eating.
But 21 weeks and still feeling this?!
Bah-humbug!

and here's a nice and greasy picture of the bump...Nate says I'm huge.
Hershey Park and then the 4th of July.
July 3
For work today we went on an all day field trip to Hershey Park which is an awesome amusement park in Hershey, PA. There are 11 roller coasters and tons of other rides. There's also a huge water park with water rides, a lazy river, wave pool, and 8 water slides.
Since I'm pregnant, I lucked out and got the "scardey-cat group" which was pretty much the kids who didn't want to ride rides and just wanted to hang out at the water park all day. And I was totally fine with that! The kids rode 2 rides on the way to the water park which I just sat at the exit and watched all their stuff for, and then we played at the water park the rest of the day. It rained for about 45 minutes right at lunch time so we just hid under a giant umbrella in our swimsuits and ate lunch. It was also overcast most of the day so even though it was in the 80's it wasn't terribly hot and again, I enjoyed that! I did participate in the wave pool and the lazy river...and the ice cream parlor.
The last hour we left the park and went out front to the Hershey factory. We took a tour where we got free chocolate and then spent time buying and eating all the chocolate we could handle! And yes, it very much reminded me of Willy Wonka :)
The drive was just about 2 hours, which wasn't bad. We didn't get home till 7pm so it was a long day but it was definitely fun and not as expensive to enter as I would have expected. Most of the kids who had also been to Disney World said they preferred Hershey Park.
July 4
We both got to sleep in for a little change! Even though we were up by 8:30, it was nice to have a slow morning together for once where we could just eat breakfast and watch tv.
About 10am we rode our bikes to the high school a few miles down the road and watched the parade and walked around the "summer jubilee" as it was called. There were a few games, some food stands, and a bunch of retailers. It was HOT and although I wore sunscreen, I somehow missed my back and it is fried!!
We enjoyed the parade and walking around, but this preggo was mostly excited about the lemonade, fries, pulled pork, and strawberry funnel cake that we ate :)
It was also nice to see some familiar faces for a change! I think it felt a little more like home that we recognized some people from the crowd (although truthfully I think they all recognized us first).
We then rode our bikes UP the hill home, it was hard but I accomplished it... and then laid in front of the fan for the next half hour.

this is just a small part of the water park and these slides are not included in the 8.

waiting on the parade to start.
shriners.

Nate of course had to work in the afternoon/evening which was lame as always. Hopefully he got to do something fun at work. We were invited to have dinner and watch fireworks with a family in the ward so I went there for dinner but was worn out and didn't make it to the fireworks.
Hoping next year to be able to watch some fireworks together...for the FIRST time!
