Super Exhausted!!

The festival is over.  About 4:00 yesterday I became ova the festival.  Exhausted.  Super exhausted.  In bed at 9:00 last night.  May not get out of my jammies today.  I made the executive decision to close today.  Take a, I need to rest, Holiday.
It was an amazing few days.  I wish I would have taken pictures.  Pictures of my wonderful friends working at the shop.  Just using an entire day to help a friend out.  Blessed, I sure am.  Three friends worked their fingers to the bones.  Not enough ways to say thank you to these fantastic friends.  It is not just that they are willing to help that I love.  They are willing to help because they love my little shop and want it to succeed.  They are my cheerleaders.  Love, love these wonderful women.  I cannot say thank you enough. 
Friday my friend came and helped me with set up.  She helped make my shop shine.  She has great ideas.  She is good with flair.  Blessed to have her in my corner.  She drove back on Sunday to help work in the shop.  Gave up most of her week-end to help me.  Does not surprise me.  She has been that kind of friend for years and years.
The Old Lady came early on Saturday and stayed late.  It was an exhausting day.  After putting in a long day, she had a long drive home.  She has already offered to help any time I need her.  I know she had a great time.  She loves meeting new people. She met many new people.  It was a crazy day.  Glad to have her by my side.
Had a forever friend help on Saturday for a few hours too.  She and her sister love to hang out in the store on Saturdays.  This week they were put to work.  It was a good time.
Saturday morning was the Kiddie Parade.  It was more chaotic than I thought it would be.  Might need more people to keep the kids organized next year.  I was able to get all the kids lined up and the parade started on time.  It was adorable.  The parents did a fantastic job coming up with cute ideas.  The parade was a big hit.  I'll add a few pictures.  My little cheerleaders were amazing.  Mickey & Minne were a big hit.  It was two of Coach's nephews that put on the costumes and made kids extremely happy.
Met some very interesting people.  Interesting moment when I met a lady from Easy Rider's hometown.  She reads this blog.  Always surprises me to find out there really are people reading what I write.  Thanks for visiting Coco's Sweet Shop.  Great to meet you.
Here are a few pictures from the parade.  My girls were pompom girls.  Very adorable.
This is my favorite picture.  These girls took their jobs very seriously.  All the kids did.

 Here are a few of the participants.  There was a band, bikes, characters, power vehicles.  Too much fun.

 It was a good sized parade.  I am proud of my involvement.  Huge success.

Very tired today.  Spent the morning relaxing with my puppy on my lap.  Now I am going to pick up the little girls.  We are going to enjoy this beautiful day. 
Next I need to plan some Halloween activities for Coco's.
