Kiddy Shock Jocks! Edmonds Beach Escapade! and an Update

Boy's and Girl's, Ladies and Germs, let me introduce you to the newest Radio personalities in Seattle ... no it's not Ron and Don from 710 KIRO it's the special guests they had on their show, Kelton's friend Abbie and her brother James! They went on live radio (710 KIRO) (Click to Listen to it here) and talked about Kelton and how his schoolmates are helping to support his family with the Kids for Kelton Kar wash and Krispi Kreme Sale! They got on the show by writing a letter to Ron and Don. So not only is Abbie now an accomplished author she's a humanitarian and a Seattle talk radio personality!! I gather she's pretty persuasive too as she got Ron and Don to come down and do a LIVE broadcast from the Kar Wash!! The folks at Horizon are so cool they even added a date to be able to have the show come to the Kar Wash on Friday!!!! I never cease to be awed by all of the friends, the generosity and the incredible things that all of YOU are doing for the Littles! We're turning this horrible disease that KK is kicking the Krud out of, into a family and friend, and community building event and I don't know about you but the lessons in strength, bravery, the true meaning of community and caring are wonderful lessons! So WAY TO GO Abbie and James for your commitment to care for your friend and Thank you KK for letting us all learn from you!

Now then, All of you long time readers out there, make sure that you get your cars, bikes, snowmobiles, jet ski's , horses, ok scratch the livestock... down to the Kar wash on Friday or Saturday and you're not just supporting the Littles, you're creating community and rewarding kids like Abbie and James who went the extra mile to help a friend!

Ok now the the Edmonds Beach Escapade!! It is May right?? Why then are we STILL dealing with weather in the 40s??? Ok that's just old man grumbling, do you think that a chill in the air bothered 5th graders on a field trip to the Beach?? Heck NO!!! they loaded up and cruised on down to Edmonds beach where believe it or not only 1 kid who shall remain nameless for this article) fell in and got totally soaked, that in itself is amazing! The kids were amazed with all the sea/tidal life and had a great time. KK's only issue was that they couldn't bring home a starfish :-(! Check out the pictures in the school and classmates section of the Gallery :-)
KK's still doing "swimmingly" well (no it wasn't him that fell in at Edmonds Beach) his numbers are still up and he's feeling ok most days. He was at school a couple days this week and hopes to be there even more next week. Don't forget to sign the guestbook and leave a word or two :-) Kant wait for the Kar Wash! I'm excited I get to go now!! Thanks Ron and Don and Horizon for adding the extra date!!!! Beware children of Horizon, I may just bring one of our Fire engines that needs a top to bottom washing!! (not really, probably just my dirty old Ford)

Next Update when something new comes up, or after the Kar Wash!
