Hoops, Scoops and Shoots....

The weather has been gorgeous this weekend...bright and sunny with warm temps. The chance of rain is supposed to return tomorrow so we got our outdoor tasks done this morning. I got the oil changed in the generator and checked the water level in the batteries. Linda checked the fuses for our cigarette lighter in the Xterra as our power converter won't work in the one socket. Fuses are fine but socket still won't work, even though the other one does.

Yesterday we went to Twin Bridge campground and hung out with Linda's sister and her nephews. There was a Civil War re-enactment going on there this weekend. The two base camps were set up and around 1:30 the "battle" began. Seemed a little odd to see Union soldiers marching past campers but to get to the battlefield that's what they had to do. Some soldiers were on horseback and they even had cannons. As you can imagine all of the gunfire and cannon blasts made Boomer really nervous. Not sure who won as we didn't see any soldiers "die" so I'm not sure how they keep score of who wins. Maybe they take turns each time they have a re-enactment.

Later on in the day we went to Greencastle to the Car Hop.

Here is our handsome waiter,Coby, who took our order.....

They had a DJ there spinning classic tunes...Some of the kids taking orders had roller skates on as they zipped from car to car taking orders and then taking the orders to the kitchen to get the food. Here Karlee is showing Linda the two arm technique for hoola hoops....

It's a family affair...Jayden on the left..Carol on the right(Linda's sister)
Jake is patroling the parking lot...

They had a hoola hoop contest that went on for a long time. Two young ladies had this thing down pat...song after song kept ending and another starting and they were still going with their hoola hoop. Not me, man....I'm as bad at hoola hooping as I am at jumping rope..I think they fall in the same classification of coordination...none of which I possess. It would be called hoola oops if I did it cause it would be around my ankle right off the bat. They had a great menu of burgers, hotdogs, floats, french fries, shakes and sodas. Linda's sister, Kay was helping in the kitchen getting the food orders put together on each tray except she kept forgetting to put the hamburger patty on the bun. All the fixins were there...lettuce, tomato, mayo, etc. but when the kids would bring it back and say "Where's the Beef"...she'd see that she had forgotten the burger patty...minor detail...low cal version. It was a fun time and great for the youth working the event.

Today we're hanging out at Linda's brothers house, watching the NASCAR race at Pocono. Tomorrow we have an interview in Camp Hill and one in Gettysburg. On Tuesday we head to Maryland for an interview with a nationwide company that we want to work for. We're looking forward to getting these interviews in so that we're a little closer to knowing where we're headed next.
