Happy parade

So yesterday was a wonderful parade. We got Rachel confiscated BUT we claimed her back soon after =D AND, we pitched three full tents!!!!!! tho we exceeded timing, it was still ok as it was the first time we pitched the tents all by our own! Everyone was happy [i think] . Three cheers to sunflower seeds!!! Altho there were some imperfections in our various tents, at least we tried our best rite :) first aid was fun with the triangular bandages. Interesting :3 AP is coming soon and ma'ams said its gonna be very fun =D yay! excited and looking forward to it. and AC too!
