Family Fun Day

We had a really fun, yet interesting day yesterday. We spent most of the afternoon at the park for the Family Fun Day celebration. I was stationed at the FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) booth for a little over three hours painting faces while Lance and the girls got to enjoy all of the different booths and play at the playground. The craziest thing happened when I was almost to my three hour mark. I was painting an angry bird on this young girls cheek when she started to move her head side to side a little. I told her that she needed to try to hold still and looked up at her. Her eyes were glossy and she really started to sway. I dropped my brush and pulled her onto my lap as she passes out. I called for some cold water (we had some there in the booth) and checked her over while cradling her on my lap. She was only out for a few seconds but it scared me to death. Some other nice bystanders helped me get her cooled off, got her to drink some power aid that Lance brought over to her and I carried her into the shade. Poor little girl. We ran into her a few hours later at Costco and she came up to me, gave me a hug, thanked me for helping her out and told me that she was okay. Thank heavens. Reminder to all us parents: when it's really hot outside make sure that your kids have eaten good food, drink lots of fluids and don't get over heated.
