YEE HA! Dixie Stampede was AWESOME!

Yes, I had a BLAST! Shoot, everyone of us that went had a blast!
This weekend, we took our troop up to Myrtle Beach to see Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede Christmas show. WOW! First off, the ride up went smooth. I had six kids in my car.....Enough said! LOL We watched the preshow and then were taken back for the show and dinner, well lunch in our case. The show was AMAZING. Shoot, the food was even better! Each person, including the kids, were given a biscuit, soup, an entire rotisserie chicken(small), a strip of loin, half a baked potato, an ear of corn and a turnover. Needless to say, we were all pretty full! Oh! The show actually went over the real reason we have Christmas, baby Jesus and all. There were also pig races, ostrich races and adult volunteers on horse sticks! One of our sets of parents paricipated and two ladies from our service unit.
The only bad part of this trip was the gift shop. We waited for over TWO HOURS in line. Try doing this with a bunch of Girl Scouts and a five year old boy.....
Some of the parents were a bit dissappointed to hear that our leader went to the aquarium afterwards and didn't invite any of us to go. I was just glad that I was able to be there to make sure that all the kids went home with whom they were supposed to. If I would have known....anyway.
Right after the girls were all picked up, we headed over to a hockey game. Yes, I totally squished too much into one day. Oh, we had a great time. My two year old was already there with her daddy. She spent the day with him at the tailgating party that happened during the day there, which was perfect for her. Oh, did I meantion this kid LOVES hockey? LOL She was good almost the whole game. The last period was too much for her. She was just plain tired. She did go to sleep really well that night though at least.
The one downer of the weekend was we were supposed to go to a birthday party. My sil came last minute and we had to bail out of it. She was already half way here from Columbia and my dh had to work....I feel bad because I bailed out of a meeting this week because of sickness. I feel like a flake..... well can't change it now~!
