Last weekend was another busy one.
On Saturday morning, we took off for Ames to meet up with some of Trent’s
family to celebrate his Grandma’s 83rd birthday which was on Friday. (That
happens to be the same day as my Grandma Kock’s birthday, too! How ironic!)
We got together at Red Lobster for a good lunch. It was so great to be able
to see his family that we don’t get to see all the time, even if it was just for
a brief time.
Grandma Kock had a very busy weekend planned already, so we didn't get to have a party with her yet, but we certainly will! We wouldn't want to miss out on celebrating with her! We all love a party! :)
On Saturday afternoon we also got to stop and see Grandma and Grandpa Jons and, after supper, we settled in to watch some football at my mom's. We don't usually just sit and relax much at my mom's house because we're always on the go and doing something, so that was a nice change! :)

Sunday was a big day in my home towns (I say towns because I'm from Ar-We-Va lol) because it was the first annual Back Road Bash - A Nashville sized country music event in the little town of Vail, Iowa.
Two of my cousins, Teddy Hawley and Pete Bell, put together an awesome event in the small little town of Vail, Iowa this past weekend. Teddy and Pete own several bars in downtown Des Moines and are very good at it! Not only are they successful, but they care about where they came from and are passionate about giving back.
This was an awesome event for the small town of Vail, population in the mid 400s, and an opportunity for some local groups to do some fundraising. Trent and I helped at the Vail Swimming Pool stand for a few hours selling pizza and Jocelyn, Danielle and I even made a few rounds out in the crowd to sell to those people who just hadn't made it up to our stand yet.
The bash consisted of five different artists. It started off with the band Crawford County (ironically Vail is in Crawford County), followed by The Lost Highway then Manning native Brad Morgan. The final two headlining acts were Dustin Lynch and Chris Cagle.
It was a super hot day but it was so much fun. The plan (as far as I know) is to make this an annual event and I can't wait for next year!
