Faces of Siouxland is an event put on by the Human Rights Commission each year. There were close to 1,500 people at the event this year. Once again, I watched over the kids craft area. It’s a neat to see how many people I knew stopped out to experience this event.

Faces of Siouxland 2009
Missouri River Boat Club
Yesterday was the annual Missouri River Boat Club Party. We picked Gritz & Lindsey up about 12:45, dropped Bailey off at the Campbells (thank you very much!), ate a high carb meal at Jimmy Johns, then started drinking about 1:30. The pre-party was definately fuller this year than in the past. It was an interesting crowd. A lot of people I knew and a lot of people we did not know. Lisa & Nathan joined us around 2:00. Cohrs & Lawrence soon after that. I can’t believe it’s the 7th one we have been to?!!? So, last year I tried to get a job at KSCJ. This year I broke my heal to my boot and had to walk around without a heal most the night. But, lasted till 9:30. Then went to the Kalahers to play Mario Kart and to look at their house plans. It’s going to be awesome! Dinner did not settle well at all! Went to bed curled up like a baby, but woke up feeling awesome.
Football Yardage
On Friday night at dinner with my parents, Bailey asked why there were marking on the field of a football field. I explained that they are at 10 yard increments starting at the end zone. So, she goes, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. I stopped her and said it only goes to 50 from one direction and the 50 from the other direction. She then said, “So a football field is 100 yeards?” WOW, she picked adding up quickly.
