Mock Disaster
This morning the three younger children and I spent about 4 hours at the fire station being victims in a mock disaster. We volunteered to help those training in the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) Program. Amber was so excited about going and getting all made up, but she ended up being assigned the role of a hysterical family member. She was only made up with a bruise on her forehead. Luckily the make-up artist understood the teenagers that made up most of the volunteers. He gave them the opportunity to go home with extra blood squirt on them if they wanted to go impress their moms. So Amber got to go home all bloody, too.

I got to do one of those in High School...I was also a hysterical family member. It was a lot of fun and very exciting. It's cool that they let you come home covered in blood.

ReplyDeleteIt would have been awesome if you had gotten into a minor car accident on the way home, and you guys had stumbled out of the car moaning and crying and fallen to the ground looking like that.
Chris, Unfortunately that minor accident happened on Monday morning. The guy who hit me sure would have freaked out if we had had our make-up on then.
ReplyDeleteThat was fun. Although the only bloody stuff I had on me was a fake bruise. But thankfully the man that did the make-up said that who ever wanted to could get some more blood on there faces so I got to do that. It was fun being a hysarical family member though =). Lol, it sound like my comment is more like adding to your blog, mom. I love you mom!
