  Finally got the time to take the cover off the POD and start to get it going.  Mama can't wait for Labor Day.

Thanks for putting all the information on the weekend events.  We are definitely going to have to go to Irishfest.  Really looking forward to the weekend.

There are 5 families here. Really enjoy meeting and visiting with new families. Two from Missouri, two from Omaha and we are from Iowa. Everyone loves their pods.   Taking some trips into town to the Irish pub and shopping in the fun shops.

I don't know why but it seems you can get into trouble making too much noise after 10:00 pm. Had a fun night cooking outside and visiting around campfire with new friends. Kansas City Irishfest was so much fun today too.
