I didn't know that ice was that expensive. I know that over the weekend, we bought about 5 so that is expensive. I would have died without the ice.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-78778879860061390252011-07-25T22:28:36.502-04:002011-07-25T22:28:36.502-04:00Thanks, Ken!Thanks, Ken!Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-30635405986980128392011-07-25T22:08:51.415-04:002011-07-25T22:08:51.415-04:00Yeah, nearly my whole group had to make multiple t...Yeah, nearly my whole group had to make multiple trips to the nice cooling tent! The grass gave me a really really bad rash all over my legs and I got 2 ticks. Yuck! I agree it was very expensive. I can't believe we had to pay $4 for ice though! That really irritated a bunch of guys in my group.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984551175322841464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-29288100948137721132011-07-25T15:38:00.861-04:002011-07-25T15:38:00.861-04:00Great post!

That's a great price! <br /><br />It is starting to really get expensive for us. For this weekend, registration was $20.00 food was $30 and gas was expensive but we were very lucky to get to carpool.<br /><br />We had fun but we have to scale back for next year. It's just way too much money to spend in one weekend. <br /><br />We were really hot, some people in out group had to get aid. It seemed like it would have been a nice event if it wasn't so hot. The sweat was giving everyone rashes.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-9018385679707759182011-07-25T09:51:09.160-04:002011-07-25T09:51:09.160-04:00Great post!

I buy a lot of stuff used which helps the cost A LOT - I bought a hoop skirt this weekend for $10 used. Huzzah! How did you like the 150th Manassas??? Did you stay as cool as you could? It was so absurdly hot!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984551175322841464noreply@blogger.com
