Thank You Rob and Alexis


So my friend Rob got married to Alexis. I went to their wedding reception last night. I have to say it was the coolest reception I have ever been to. It was at seven peaks water park. It was a fantastic choice because that is where they met. Any way it was awesome. We wore our swim suits and played all night. When we first arrived we enjoyed nachos, french fries, and soda. Their wedding cake was an ice sculpture of a cake with real flowers. I wish I brought my camera because it truly was cool. They also served snowcones. At 8 o'clock the park closed so we had it to ourselves. Kailey was in heaven. We watched a montage of them while we were in the wave pool. We went on what ever slide we wanted. We didn't have to wait in line. It was dark and we had a great time. They even had Napolean Dynamite playing on the big screen by the pool. Thanks Rob and Alexis for have such an enjoyable and memorable reception. I definately celebrated. I think more reception should be this way.

Lemonade



So I went to pick up Kailey from a sleep over and this is what I arrived to. A lemonade stand. They were waving down cars fron the street. I noticed that they were charging a $1 per cup. I thought that was a bit pricy, but people were paying. I was amazed. I sat there with my friend in the shade of a tree as we watched people pull over with huge smiles on their faces and money in hand. The girls would squeal with enthusiasum everytime someone would pull over. If people didn't pull over they waved and honk. One man didn't even want a cup of lemonade but gave them a huge handful of change. They were so excited that someone would do that for them. They ended up making about 28 dollars. It was amazing to watch these two girls create abundance and joy. I really feel that lemonade stands bring out the best in people. It's not about buying a drink. It's about supporting each other. It's about building a little ones self-esteem. So thank you to all those who stopped and made a difference in my childs life. Thanks for creating such a positive experience for my sweet Kailey. And thanks for allowing me to witness the goodness that truly exsists in this world.
