Car wash, chicken fried and killer sunsets

Ringing every ounce of summer out of summer. Not sure if that's always a healthy thing, but it's how I function. The Xterra trekked from the farm and rolled into Medford Lakes leaving about 14.7 hours before we held our car wash in an effort to make some last minute cash for Haiti that will be used to purchased medical supplies. Frequently, when it comes to donating there can be skepticism as to where the money you hand over is going. Being able to convey our mission and that each penny will be used to purchase items that will immediately help people is AWESOME! 





In the pouring rain we cheered, scrubbed and sprayed in the name of Hope Alive Clinic: ) Taylor, Nate (my nephew) , Jenna, Kate & Sydney (a friend's middle school kids:)  worked non-stop with smiles on their faces. I'm always in awe of how stoked kids can get about helping others when you provide the right ingredients.
Every time someone dropped another donation they wanted to be updated on what the tally was. Overall, we raked in $204 that has the ability to literally save someone's life
 To think that some might think there is an age limit as to how old one must be to make a difference. I had a bunch of five super stoked young people who knocked it out of the park today. Way to change the world, guys!                                                      

We arrived home soaked and I felt a slight resemblance to a chia pet. After chilling for a little bit and morphing back to human status we headed to Camden with lawn chairs and smiles ready for a little Zac Brown Band! It was an awesome night of dancing in bare feet, swaying to some awesome tunes and letting myself unwind after a super long past few days. How can you not reach the zen zone with good tunes, a killer sunset and great company?
