The Sun is on Your Nose

This morning I got up and drove to Columbia for Special Olympics day at Mizzou. The athletes got to spend time all morning playing games like kickball and hillbilly golf with the Mizzou athletes. We got a free Are You shirt in Mizzou colors which was great. The gave out snow cones free as well which would usually be great but when its a little cold out, a cold drink isn't exactly first on your mind which didn't stop me from getting a blue one though lol. I got to see so many of my SOMO friends even some that I have seen in over a year and spend the day with YAC. They provided lunch so we ate and then had our meeting. Shaffer gave us materials to make signs for the baseball game. Mine said YAC loves SOMO :). Then it was time for the baseball game to start. Since the stands were full of 75% Special Olympics people it was a great time cheering and letting the rest of the crowd know of our presence. Jennah's sign one sign of the game. Apparently it was 80's day because they kept playing music from that time period and some people were dressed like it. When they played Total Eclipse of the Heart, we face forward and then turned around and looked at Whitney when they said turn around in the song.It was pretty funny. The athletes always bring a smile to my face by the little things they say and do, just their unknowing compassion that they have on every single person. Mizzou was losing to kstate 3-0 in the 7th inning when we left to go look at the Victory Village sight. They ended up winning in extra innings 4-3 go figure. Those of us helping with Victory Village created like a mini caravan to the sight. We talked about what we were going to do and then I headed back to the burg. I didn't realize because the sun was hitting me all the time throughout the day, but I ended up with a nice sunburn on my face. Whoops. Kaitlin ended up getting back from work the same time as I was getting back. We went and ate dinner with Katie, her friend, Jennah, and Lauren. Derrick got back and came over and watched the rest of Paul Blart: Mall Cop with us until Megan came over. We watched Thor which wasn't to bad. Not the best of the Marvel movies but still good.The goal is to get the rest of the ones I haven't seen before the Avengers comes out. I am off to bed as soon as this over since I am so tired. There is no question tonight. Tonight's blog title is from Katie telling me I had sun on my nose and we were like I think you mean a sunburn. Then when we were leaving the dining hall, Kaitlin was like it smells and after I told her it always smells there, she told me it was me because the sun was burning my face.I had a really great Saturday! Good night!
