This morning we went to help work on the float for the parade. There were a lot of people who showed up. It was great to see that many people there. I didn't get to help as much as I wanted, though. I really started feeling light headed and shaky. I thought I was just hungry, but I've not felt great the whole day since then.

Anyway, the float is all red, white and blue. They used tissue paper to decorate the grate on the back of the trailer. We put a white board there, too with scientific equations on it and cardboard cut outs of beakers and such. We put streamers on fans to simulate fire. They have a table on the end of the trailer for a lab table. Everyone is going to wear their VBS t-shirts. We got the kids plastic hats with red, white and blue bands on them and red, white and blue lays for the adults.

This evening Michaela went to spend the night with Anikca. Michael, Caleb and I went out to eat at R.T. Weilers. Then, we went to Sam's and bought candy for the parade. We got a HUGE bag of Dum Dums and a tub of bubble gum. At Walmart, we bought new Tiki Torches and Michael got some gardening stuff he needed. We drove up and down the highway to look at the flood before coming home. It's amazing how quiet the house is with just one kid in it.
