I’m a little disappointed because the skate team I had lined up to escort us in the 4^th of July parade backed out today (3 days before the event). I hate that I had talked it up and had people excited about it and now I have to let them down. The good news is that I only told the people at InDependence who hopefully love me enough to forgive me. 

So if anybody has any connections to anything like that please let me know. A monkey on a tricycle would be good or even a clown (maybe not since my wife is freaked out by them). We even had a little money set aside to bless this ministry so we can buy lots of bananas if needed.
