Today brought with it another friendship visit, this time with a local Muscular Dystrophy organization’s family fun day. Our team was happy to join the families in attendance and, essentially, make fools of ourselves. The day included crazy hair spraying, eating contests, a water balloon fight and even a “ice t-shirt” contest that, in an unexpected turn of events, David “the cabana boy” Stinnette, failed to triumph in. In addition, members of the team performed the “Kids on the Block” show, which uses puppets to educate kids about their peers with disabilities. Despite some ear shattering notes emitting from the guys playing female characters, everyone really enjoyed it. Later that night we were spoiled with food from Mr. Ian Paul Turner, Theta Iota chapter of Pi Kappa Phi and a local chef (including a “tequila chicken” dish I’ve never had before) and went to bed full and eager to take on a whole new state in the morning.
