election day adventures

well, what a fun, long, delightful, and memorable day we have had. we just returned home from my brother-in-law, Monty Lankford’s, VICTORY PARTY!! he is running for Congress & won the republican primary today in Tennessee’s 4th district. we are just so proud of him!! today, drason, livi, & i were assigned to the community center in mt. pleasant, tn as our campaign post. we arose early this morning, voted @ our local precinct, and headed to mt. pleasant for a day of fun. we brought our pop-up tent to block the sun’s beaming rays, plenty of liquids for hydration & camping chairs. we had to remain 100 feet away from the voting site, due to regulations, so we set up smack-dab in the middle of the parking lot. we no sooner got out tent, chairs, & livi all set-up when it started to thunder & lightning. then, the rain came & the tent started to leak so we all piled up in the back seat of drason’s truck. Soon, we heard an awful screeching sound and looked around to find our tent blowing away. it was bent beyond repair so livi & i spent most of the day in the back seat of the truck. however, a normal day without craziness would just have been boring. we had a blast overall & just enjoyed being together as a family.
off to a good start~ tent still keeping us dry...
tent beginning to leak.... still all smiles....
campsite in turmoil.... but don't forget to vote Lankford for Congress!!
