Last night we went out to Sommer Park for the hot dog roast and hayrack ride with the Cub Scout pack. I was dreading going because I sneeze pretty much all year long and I was unsure what the exposure to hay would do to my sinuses. We had a pretty good time.

First we got our hot dogs and roasted them as a photographer from the Journal Star took pictures. He said they may be in the paper today and online. We don’t get the paper so I am unsure if my kids are in it but I did find a picture of two of them online. The baked beans were excellent. My husband doesn’t like baked beans and he even thought they were good. Then it was time for smores. I don’t care for smores so I sat with our oldest while Brad and the other two roasted their marshmallows. My youngest got tired of waiting for a spot to roast his marshmallows so he put his smore together cold and ate it that way.

After the food, most of the scouts gathered on the playground as the adults tried to get everyone organized so we could go on our ride as a group. My boys were on the tire swing being spun around as they were swinging yelling, “Make us puke! Make us puke!” That is all we need is my kids puking on the hayrack. There were too many of us to go on one ride so we had to split up. Our kids were mad we made them go with us instead of their friends but hey, we are fun too! My husband was kind enough to point out the giant “land mine” left by one of the horses right by were we exit the hayrack. At least we all missed it. All and all it was a pretty good time.

BTW: my blog is acting up so I couldn’t link to the picture of my kids. So you can play guess which kids belong to East Bluff Barbie, if you go to the Journal Star and check them out!
