Weekend of Fiddle Festival


Thursday afternoon I headed to Weiser, ID to meet up with my family who had been there all week at the National Old Time Fiddler's Contest. We have been going to Weiser for as long as I can remember. I haven't been able to go for the past 3 years because of work, so I was pretty excited to go. Throughout the years I've always played with Mom and the boys during the day while Dad was up at the contest with Grandma and Grandpa making sure everything went smoothly. Then in the evenings I would babysit the boys while Mom joined them. Well this year I got to spend 3 nights up at the contest....ummm that's where all the FUN is!! And I've missed out for the past 21 years!!! Never again will I get stuck at the trailer with the boys! I really had a blast watching all the fiddlers performing and jamming. I wish I could play the fiddle, guitar, or mandolin so I could jam with them too!! It's fun to watch the performance but the real fun happens back stage, I think. Especially when you are with Rob...because you can do whatever you want. And I claim Frank and Julie as my grandparents! hahaGrandma Julie and I ushering fiddlers on and off. We also had a good time discussing the...how should I put it...Interesting fashion of the fiddlers...
(Mom as a photo of me and Grandpa...PLEASE post those so I can get them Mom!!!!)

It was sooooooooooo good to see my family!!! Although I didn't get to see Sam and David since they stayed at home. I had such a great time with them. I definitely needed the family time!
Mom and I always have a good time when we're together. And late at night we get super giggly. I LOVE it! I learned a lot about my mother this past weekend...she probably doesn't want me sharing details but it was truly FANTASTIC!!! (haha, are you guys in 5th grade?)

Dad, I did not forget you! I got my bear hug and shoulder rub!!! (Mom I believe you also have a photo of Dad and I...PLEASE post.)
ummmm yeah. Gotta love this kid.
That is the McDonald's Menu in the background.
Dear Weiser,
I know that you are a very small town and I know you have many cute little places to eat but could you please get something other than McDonalds in the fast food department? Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.
p.s you do have YUMMY Reeses McFlurries...but that is all.
Here we are waiting for the parade to start.

LOVE this picture :)

Frank treated us to ice cream at the Classic Weiser Candy place...Sooo good! (all their food, especially the chocolate) But beware...the owner is really good at talking you into buy more than you want. haha

In conclusion my weekend was FANTASTIC!!!! I had a BLAST! It was great to see family and hang out at the Fiddle Contest!
