party flash

If my electronic devices had worked properly today, I would have had a great picture of Dennis dressed as the Flash to post. You'll have to use your imagination instead. He was wearing his Flash cape from Six Flags. He was also wearing a sleeveless red shirt turned inside out, to the front of which I pinned a white felt circle and a big yellow lightning bolt. I made him an eye mask out of a strip of red plastic tablecloth, and he wore red shorts and his black Nikes with the red stripe and yellow sole. He looked super cool and he was so proud. He took his Flash persona to the Fall Festival at church where he jumped in bouncy houses, participated in a Cake Walk and a Coke Walk, played video games, shot a bow and arrow, fished at a fishing booth, went on a hayride, and rolled around in one of those giant inflatable balls that people walk or run in (life size hamster ball, I think it said). He was very hot and sweaty and completely happy to be there. He was equally happy to go to the lake and show off his Flash duds to the family. Flash did a little fishing and a lot of eating and storytelling before we dragged him away crying. He went to sleep almost immediately in the car. Big day for The Flash.
