I would have loved to! My mom just told me last night where it was and I couldn't believe I missed it. I have a doctor's appt and will be caring for my 92 year old grandmother for a while, so there's just no way we can swing it--assuming we could even get tickets.
Have fun!!

I want to, but I don't think I have enough time to get there.

We were going to ... but then I worried about not knowing where the heck I was and that I was really doing this for me not for the kids ... so we stayed home and are now making homemade kettle corn, reading and having a wonderful, rainy inside kind of day!

Ok, so what I thought was going to be a small gathering was 20,000 people! So my family just huddled together. Sorry I didn't try to meet up. It was crazy!

It was awesome - took us forever to get there (my dh who was dropping us off is a saint!) and forever to get out - but it was so much fun. It was impossible to meet up - but we bumped into some of our favorite 4realers (outside McDonalds) on our way out!!! I took all 5 kids - one in a back carrier - and they all had enjoyed it!

We were there too, and were able to meet up by chance with a number of families we knew. What a crowd! Truly amazing.
My boys were very glad to have gone and I think we got some pretty good pictures.
Peace.

'Fess up, who drives the slate blue minivan with the St. V's sticker and the stick figure family on the back (five kids)? I was behind you on 50 ....

We were there with some other 4Realers (and bumped into Marilyn outside McD's afterwards  ). We had a fantastic time and I'm so glad we went! I still cannot believe that was 20,000 people.
