The Big Winner

Yesterday was a big day for the kings.We won a ton of stuff. First I went to the 5k run and won third in my age group. It was a terrible run. It was hot, I was tired, and I didn't eat breakfast and I ended up stopping to dry heave about 3 times during the race and once after the race. I felt so bad the whole time. Atleast my two friends did good and we all ended up placing for our age groups. After the race there was a raffle and I won a pack of fireworks. I was excited about that because I never win anything. Then later, Chad was playing horseshoes at the park in a tournament and I went and bought 5 dollars worth of raffle tickets. So I got 6 tickets. About an hour or so later they called my name as the winner of a new video camera. I was excited about that because that's a pretty good prize.We decided to try and take that back since we already have two cameras but still we won a camera!!! Then later in the day, they did the last raffle for all the big prizes. Everyone in our big group was saying "Man I want that plasma tv." I hadn't even seen the tv. I wanted the patio furniture. Anyway they drew my name for the winner of the plasm tv and I threw my water bottle in the air, screamed and ran up to get my prize. the people doing the raffle said, "hey didn't you win the camcorder earlier today?" and I said yeah. Then they asked me how many tickets I bought and laughed after I told them that I only bought 6 tickets. Chad wasn't even there so I got to call him and tell him and he couldn't believe it. We are so lucky.So now we had fireworks to set off and a new camera to put money in our pockets after we return it and a brand new 32 inch plasma tv to enjoy for our viewing pleasure. What a day!!!
