Under the guise of a good promotional idea, we decorated the dog, shined up the old truck, and tossed the kids in back with a bunch of squirt guns to blast away down the streets of Orinda. Sure, it was a little hot, but the crowd loved being sprayed with cold water probably more than the candy we were tossing out the windows, and I haven't seen my kids smile so much since Christmas morning.
Definitely a great time had by all, especially by our house guests visiting from Vancouver, BC who we made ride along with us. They may think we're a little crazy, but they had fun.
