Guys being Guys

The smell of hot dogs and cotton candy. The pavement flying by. Dirt and rubber in my teeth. Waiting to long for pizza. Trying not to spend all of my cash in Chicago. Bart telling us of his raucous speed boat ride. Only to see a picture of the before mentioned boat, and discovering that there were about 50 other people on the boat with him. Mmm, exciting.
We started off a week of travel with Wednesday at Alive festival. Alive was one of the very first festivals we ever did so it is always great to get back. Thanks to everyone there for sticking it out in the rain and making us feel welcome. After that we had a day off so it was off to Chicago! We love Chicago. Especially when we can catch a game. It was the last night of the Cardinals vs. White Sox series, which of course St. Louis lost by one run. Oh well. We had great seats behind home plate and to top it off it was $1 hot dog night!! They must know how to make us happy. Before the game we spent some time downtown, eating shopping....yes we turn into women on the road." I have just got to go shopping!" It was great.
Going to the game set up the next two shows for us. We did a mini tour, well two days, does that count as a tour? With Toby Mac and us, two nights in a row playing at a couple AA ballparks. The ballparks are great. Makes things a little more exciting. Across from the park in Combstock there was a little family fun park. So it wasn't long before Jim had us all on the phone, calling us girls if we didn't come over and race him on the Go Kart track. So we took it one step further and made a challenge to Toby and his band. Thus ensued one of the greatest racing spectacles ever to grace a figure 8. There were many complaints. The most common was, "man my car aint got no power!" There were also lots of spins, crashes, and hearty laughs of dominance. So maybe Toby and his guys can dance, but they aint got nothing behind the wheel!! Haha. Speaking of dancing. Somewhere there lies a video of Toby trying to teach Jim to dance. Hmmm. greatness. Hopefully that will pop up somewhere.
