Parade

I was in the forth of July Parade last tuesday, and I had such a blast! I was in it with the other officers and sophomore committee. I wasn't sure how to get very much water on the trailer. The only thing I could come up with was to put those 55 gallon water storage barrels on it. I did put them on plus a few other other buckets. We might not have run out of water if we hadn't wasted it all on the water fights we had before the parade started. The water section of the parade is after the real parade, so everyone in the water section had to wait for almost three hours before it was our turn to go. We had to line up an hour and a half before the first parade even started! It was so dumb. Anyway, we used half of one of the barrels squirting the seniors, juniors, and SBO's. Before the parade started we had our trailer decorated really cute, but these dumb little kids who were on the baseball team came up and them apart! It made me really mad! We ran out of water about when we had about a forth of the parade left, but it wasn't really that bad because we would fill up again when we got to a fire hydrent or someone with a hose.

This is me before the parade started.
This is how I looked at the end. Actually I looked like this almost as soon as I got to our float and the boys started spraying me.

Cute Lizzy! I wish I could have been there to see you duke it out with your water gun. I think Isaac would like a water gun like that. He bought one for a dollar but it broke after one use.
