For some reason I was in a bad mood on Saturday September 3rd and kept going back and forth on whether I wanted to go to Dina’s Party. I wanted to go, but I felt like I was behind on stuff I needed to get done. And I really didn’t have any decent camping stuff..By the time I had decided to go Azure had all ready made plans to go to Alivias. I knew it would be fun, and I knew Zarah would enjoy it. I headed out.
I picked up Zarah around 4 and we headed south. We stopped at Wal-mart in greenwood and bought two sleeping bags, a small tent and other camping stuff. We made it to Dina’s around 6:00 P.m. I showed Zarah the animals.
Past and Future… an Old Convertible and a Tesla….
The entertainment warming up in the barn…
6 big trays of veggie food and deserts on the right…
Dina and Ryan recently gave away all of their living room furniture to Ryans nephew for college.
Upstairs Deck…Still early..
Downstairs Deck….
Dina had ALL Vegetarian food catered in… Most of Ryans side family, many of whom were there, havenever eaten meat in their entire lives..From past experience I knew a lot of the people at the party were vegetarians..But for all I really knew everyone except Zarah and Angel were…..tonight however, everyone was.
$4000.00 PRS Guitar.. it played fantastic… I WANT THIS GUITAR SO BAD….
Zarah was our little Barista. She asked everyone at the party if the they wanted a cup of coffee. ( At least 4 times lol) But she was excited when she got a couple of yes’es!!!
Girl Power!!!
Dina constantly flys all over the U.S. for trials… She takes this Bunny with her every time.
We piled into a few cars and several ATV’s and watched Ryan & Co. set off some AMAZING fireworks.. I think they would give Cicero a run for their money. I could hear people far and wide Cheering in the darkness. Didn’t have my phone with me to take pictures. Afterwards we all came back to JAM!!!
Zoo Boo took a nap while the band played on….
James was from England – Nice person… Good guitar Player…He made me sound good… Thank you !!
I played 3 or 4 songs for everyone as well, James backed me up… It helped alot..!!!!
Then came the Karaoke….
Getting down with the Karaoke
Don’t know what time ZooBoo and I sacked out in the tent but,… it was pretty late though… The party went on until 4:30 A.M. Ryan was having a blast. Zarah and I slept until about 7:30 a.m. and went in the house.
Dina made breakfast for everyone… Morningstar farm veggie sausage and Eggs from outback… Zarah played with the bunny,…. While Ryan was cracking me up downstairs..
After breakfast Dina offered to take us down to the Pond/lake to enjoy the weather/outdoors. The weather was beautiful. sky was blue and the temperature was about 72 degrees.
We walked down the drive to another Property I suppose Dina and Ryan own… however the only occupants are 5 dogs… Dina let them out to hike with us….
Zarah and I Kayaked for about an hour. It was so nice out… For some reason Dina left for a while. Can’t remember why.. So Zarah and I drifted a long in the late summer morning peace and quiet checking of the Herons. and the turtles and stuff … We had a lot of fun. Soon we were joined by 3-4 people and Dina. I ended up falling out of the Kayak twice… Had my billfold in my back pocket. Luckily, at the time Zarah was in her own boat and I was pulling her along with a rope. Also it was a good thing that I didn’t have my phone in my pocket. It was still up at the house. I took these pictures with Dina’s Phone.
Remains of some of the Fireworks set off the night before… it was a major show and drew a big crowd from all around.
Lunch
A bird flew into the glass door and knocked its self out. Dina was helping it. She eventually placed it in the hanging basket you can see on the upper left… It just stood there looking around for the longest time.
Zarah and I finally headed out about 3:00 p.m. We stopped and got Ice Cream… We both had a Wonderful time……………………………………………………………………………………………………….
