the weather

i would love to see a week or 2 go by without any rain, we had more rain last night and it was so windy out, need to check the yard out and see if a lot of branches are out there. lots of lightning last night, I had a hard time sleeping, I got about 6 hours of sleep at best. I wish I could get this rain to some people who need it. The good news is we might get 3 or 4 dry days after today. i sure hope so, we need some quieter weather, although it will be hot and humid too.

Amusement parks

The other day my husband got some tickets from work for us 4 still here to go to Adventureland in Des Moines a week from tomorrow, so I'm praying for good weather, not rainy and not real hot. I've been to some amusement parks in the past, been to Hershey Park, which was a lot of fun, and yes, i did have some chocolate although not as much as you would think, lol. I've been to Adventureland 3 or 4 times I think before.  The first one I ever went to was Valley Fair in Minnesota, the church youth group used to go down there every year for awhile. I only went 3 times I think, but 2 of them were fun and one was kind of up and down as I couldn't seem to stay with one group  of people for a brief time, no one wanted me for some reason, LOL. I used to like rollercoasters, but when I got sick on one the last time I was at the Minnesota one, I quit going on them. I've gotten older and hence don't go on many high rides like I did when I was younger. The only high ride I'll go on is the ferris wheel and also the water log ride(closest thing to rollercoasters i will get, lol).When the rest of the family wants to ride rollercoasters, actually daughter and husband, youngest son and i will go somewhere else. My favorite ride? mmm, maybe bumper cars or some car ride thing and the water log ride. oh and the underground train ride as well. Hoping for some fun, I could use some fun :)
