Fabulous Day!!!!

Today our group (The Link) helped out with our church's picnic. We manned the cotton candy and sno cone machines....it was awesome! I did the cotton candy...and I was a machine...I mean c'mon...you have to have some serious guns to be able to withstand the never-ending lines...I have pure stamina (some...*cough*cough*...Jon...did not!!!!)!!!!!

I had cotton candy sugar everywhere!!! I went to push my hair off my forehead...and my hand literally got stuck in my hair...my hair was pretty much crystalized with blue sugar...not a bad way to go though...I must say =)

We had face painting, balloon hats, and this huge blow-up obstacle course---it was saweet!!! You race another person...and you have to dodge these huge blow up pillars and then once you get through that...you have to grab a rope and climb up over this huge wall...then fling yourself off the edge of it down this huge slide and back to solid ground....it was sooo sweet. I had been wanting to go all afternoon...but everyone was like only kids do that...then this little girl comes up to me and was like "your not too big to go on that"...so that was my cue to go ahead...Bri and a few other daring girls decided they would attempt the mayhem as well...and suprisingly we all did fairly well considering we all weigh 4 times the size of one of the little kids on the thing!!!!

I'm posting some photos of the fab day...they're not the greatest...b/c I forgot to charge my battery in my camera...so I got to take like 5 pics....but you get to see my awesome balloon hat....aaaahhhhh to be 8 again....it was a GREAT day!












Clearly Jon (above) was doing nothing but proclaiming to be the cotton candy king of the world....big talk for someone that had a hard time figuring out how to swirl sugar on a stick!!!!!
