Ward Party!

So, we had our first party as the not so newly created 10th Ward (we split in January), but it was a Luau and it was over all pretty fun. We did make quite a scene there though. We were standing in line waiting for our turn to make our Hawaiian Haystacks and Remy saw a friend of his. I told him he could go over and say hello. Well, little did I know he was going to RUN over there. He started running and in a split second plowed into a little girl and her plate of haystack. Her food went flying into the air, she disappeared into the crowd and Remy ran back to me like his pants were on fire. I was sort of embarrassed, not too surprised, but I felt really bad for that poor little anonymous girl. The craziest thing was seeing the look on this one woman's face as I came to clean up the mess. She had her mouth hanging open with a look of COMPLETE and udder shock, almost as if I had been the one to plow into the girl, not a 5 year old. It was pretty funny. I guess she has those unheard of kids that sit quietly with their arms folded in their laps and say, "Yes Mother" and "Yes Father" with an air of English accent.
Well, what a way to make an impression! I wouldn't expect anything less!

P.S. We did find out who the victim was, it turned out to be the little girl of the family that Darrin home teaches. They were very gracious and accepted our profuse apologizes. I guess we'll have to send cookies this month with Darrin for home teaching.

P.P.S. This is the same family that when Darrin and his companion went to HT last month, the 4 year old opened the door and said, "My mom and dad are upstairs getting dressed, they were naked."
