Ever heard of Loa? It's a big part of Trevor's family. His father grew up there, and now owns this really ancient house that belonged to Trevor's great grandmother. We go down there as a family a few times a year. I probably talked about it on Memorial Day weekend--that's the last time we went. So this time it was the Rees family reunion, which is pretty informal and is held on fair weekend. It's a great time to go down there because let's face it--there's not a TON to do in Loa, and on fair weekend there's a parade, a fair, a rodeo, and a demolition derby which is my FAVORITE. 
It was a really fun relaxing weekend. It was nice to see everyone and get to know them better. The kids loved the parade. I loved the derby, though we didn't stay for the whole thing because I was all pregnant-sick and Trevor had a headache. But BOY was there a cool wipeout! Check it out!
The car on the bottom had a woman driver (no wise-cracks please...) but she was ok. They got her out and she waved to the crowd and everyone cheered. Then they continued the derby once they got the car cleared. Let's see...at the reunion we all did skits and Trevor got to be Goldilocks. Ain't he cute?

I LOVE LOA!!! That is seriously one of my favorite places ever. I remember a fun fun fun trip with the Nielson clan when I was about 16. Good times!
Sorry you're sick. It really does get better!
