Yesterday the kids and I rode on the Fire Dept float for the Black Forest Parade. It was alot of fun. The kids had water guns and squirted the crowds. They threw candy and stress balls. The dept. had shirt made up for the kids that said fire fighter in training. So all the kids on the float had on these yellow shirts. It looked great. After we got off the float we were able to watch the rest of the parade. After the parade we found Larry and Dakota. Dakota was being dunk in the dunk tank to raise money for MDA. We managed to find something to eat and a place to sit. The kids had hotdogs...yummy. We walked around and check out all the booths set up. Shelby found a chapter book for $1. We got Schwann's icecream. Shelby kept bugging me to get dunked so we made are way back to the dunk tank. On the way we ran into Diane, Amanda and Nick who we haven't seen in a year. We had alot to chat about. But again Shelby wanted to get dunked. So off we went to the dunk tank. Shelby took off her shoes and sock and climbed up. She had the look of fear on her face. She wasn't to sure about it. Well, she got dunked and fell in all the way. The water was over her head. Boy did that scare her. She said it was fun but she didn't do it again. I think she just wanted to get wet.
After all the excitement we got a ride back to the station in the ambulance. That was neat for the kids.
When we got home everyone was tired. The kids watch a movie and relaxed. I just sat in the chair and took a deep breath. It was a long day but fun.
