We had a wonderful time at the fundraiser. We met the wonderful people who run and support the foundation. Everyone was so nice. We were also able to spend time with our friends the Harvers, whose son Levi is also from China. There was so much to do. They had sheep races, raffles, food, music, bull bingo, a fire truck, an ambulance, and so much more. Michael especially liked the fire truck and the animals. We were standing there watching the bull bingo, aka waiting for the bull to do his business in a numbered square (you would think being from rural Alabama I would have heard of this before, but it was new to me), and Mark (one of the Laila Rose Foundation board members) asked Michael if he wanted to ride the bull. This was a 3,200 hundred pound bull. Without hesitation or evening looking at us to see if it was okay, he threw his cup down and ran toward the bull. He was so excited to ride a REAL bull like a REAL cowboy.
Michael had so much fun that the next day he asked if we could go back. Hopefully, we will be able to go again next year.
On Sunday, we celebrated Uncle Wo's (Joe's) birthday a little late. We had a cookout next door with Bill's dad, Joe, Joseph, Bill's sister, and her fiance. It was nice to have everyone together.
I may be on a hiatus for a couple of weeks. We do not have any major plans this week and Michael will be headed to see Gamma and Papa next Friday for a week. If I do not write more before then, have a wonderful Memorial Day!
