Chester the Cheetah

I have an amazing girlfriend. Emily was willing to dress up in a nine foot inflatable costume and walk around a Sam's Club so that I could get a digital camera. It was fun but it was also a lot of work. But overall a fun experience and another memory that Emily and I will have. Four hours does not seem like a lot, but let me tell you between the two of us we only spent two hours each in the costume but it was enough.. and I think that we both are still trying to recooperate from that long day on Saturday! But let me tell you... We brought smiles to so many people in those four hours.... it was nice to see even the adults smile... although there were a few kids which were truly scared of Chester, but overall everyone just smiled and loved having us there. And when you are in a costume and no one knows who you are there is some freedom a relief that even a shy person can be goofy it is kind of nice. It was tiring being Chester, but I have a new found respect for anyone dressed up in a costume. And I would do this again in a second, only because my helper made it lots of fun... SHE is the BEST!
