Parade Time

We were in our first parade today!! The town near us was having a 125th celebration and C, DH and I were in the parade. What with you ask?? MY PURSES!! I was a BAG LADY. Daddy and C drove a lawnmower. NO purses attached to him. It was hotter then....well you know what. My gosh pushing that cart filled with purses was no easy task and i bet the parade was over 1 1/2 miles long. People were great. They loved my 'bag lady' idea, oh I didn't mention that I borrowed a grocery cart:) Many people took pictures of me and then of DH and C. C had much fun throwing canie...i know, CANDY but he calls it 'fro canie' although he never did get it down to throw it to the people, not before or after we went by them. Then he'd shake his bag wanting more...mo...mo he'd sign to us. He did wave to people and i'll try to attach a short clip of that.

Miss A was with her Godmother enjoying the parade from the shade of some great trees. She was happy to see us when we went by. I had this fear that'd we walk down the street knowing knowone and everyone would be like...oh...BORING...but they weren't and i knew many people. Especially the guy that said 'Hi RACHEL..' I was like do i know you? He said yeah you do...come to find out he was doing that to everyone and then i remembered i had my name on the cart. Dah...good one buddy!!

After i mustered enough energy to pry myself off the ground from the heat exhausion i took the lawnmower and cart to the park where i sold purses out of the cart!! Great idea eh?? It was...i sold @ 15 at least. Not to mention all the business cards i have floating around out there. What a great publicity this was and it didn't cost me anything to be in the parade. The lawn mower was provided by an implement dealer in the area that DH's friend works at. They even supplied candy. Chocolate...BAD IDEA On a 90 degree day, in the shade. Luckly they froze it prior.

This evening we went back to the town and ate and then they had a petting zoo. G'pa and G'ma L were with us. The petting zoo had every of goat. C kept calling them sheep and saying 'aww...that cute' he was having a blast till he got bucked up the nose with an antler!! My poor baby. His nose even bleed. Then it was time to go. I think what happened is he was going down as the goat was coming up. I found a gouch on his head too during bath time. But not much blood. Oh and one of the animals chewed on Miss A's sandal thru the gates. She liked that. and she was happy too till one nibbled on her hands. That ended her visit at the zoo.

Tomorrow we're heading up to my parents for the day. Will try and make it up in time for church! That's @ 930. It'll be interesting if we can do it.

Father's Day tomorrow!! happy dad's day to all!!

Did i mention how hot it was ?? Oh yeah i did. Just wanted to make sure i didn't for get that. LOL
