weekend overview
Short story - We were on the go all weekend.

Long story - Rob left for Robinson Thursday morning, leaving me to ride home with Darra (who was in town for a meeting). When he got to town, he started trying to organize getting ARCH helicopter to land at the Palestine benefit for Darron. He found them a landing site, but wasn't sure it was big enough, so when I got to town at 4 or so, he came back to get my camera to go back to Palestine to take pictures. Darra drove me and Ally into town and dropped us off at the grandparents' to visit for s little bit while she drove with Rob. They came and got us and we went to dinner. Then we had to download the pictures and email them to the helicopter people. Unfortunately, we were in Robinson, so technology failed us. Every technological device we had malfunctioned in some way. The process became overly complicated. We finally got it accomplished, and I went to sleep and Rob went to see Andy. Friday, Rob had to do more helicopter stuff, then came home to work on the deck with Bill. They studied and figured and scratched their heads. Darra and I went to Wal-Mart. Bill took a break and Rob went fishing. They must have figured out the way they wanted it to go, because they started in working. Saturday morning, they started in bright and early (around 9). I didn't do a while lot because Ally would just get in their way. The grandparents came out around 11 though and kept her occupied. I started helping carry boards around. They started Ally swinging, and she fell asleep, so I got to work a while. Rob and I quit around 2 so we could go over to one of Darron's benefits. It was pretty lame, but I think they raised quite a bit of money. Bill and Brad finished the supports for the deck while we were gone, so when we got back, Bill was ready to relax for dinner. We had plans to meet Andy later, and Bob was coming into town for supper. Darra and Bill took Ally and went to supper, leaving us to wait for Bob to get to town. We had almost an hour of quiet (not rushing around everywhere) to ourselves without the baby. Sunday, Rob helped put the decking on the top. We went to visit Bob and Glinda at the grandparents for a little while. That evening, we went to the bowling benefit for a little bit, then to dinner, gave the baby back to Darra and Bill again, went back to the benefit to bowl a game then got the baby and left town. My back hurts from riding in the car all weekend. Rob's legs hurt from driving. But, it was good to see everyone, and we (mostly Rob) helped Bill a lot with the deck - which was the main point.
