well its over, it was pouring the whole way there, we almost gave

up as the rain got heavier the closer we got to the park

( it was a 1 1/2 hour drive )

I figured if people made the donation we should have at least

made the effort to go- and low and behold it stopped raining

once we parked the car and the sun even peeked its head for

a couple of minutes, so it was a success.



thanks to all who gave
