cheerleading pics, rain and filming

Today I remembered to bring my camera for Hannah's cheerleading practice, but I only got a few pictures before it started to rain AGAIN! They aren't the best pictures, but they are the best I could do today.









I took this picture just to show how hard it was raining. I tried to take one of Hannah (we were in the truck) but she kept getting in places where I couldn't see her. We moved the truck but as soon as we pulled into the new place she was running towards the truck because her coach let them go, but the football players had to keep practicing, so I took one of them.



When Chris dropped Hannah off at practice he noticed a film crew at the middle school football field. We were going to go by on our way back to watch her practice and see what was going on, but we forgot to go before. We went after her practice in all of the rain to see if we could find out what they were filming. They have filmed a few movies and music videos here in our town before. We took a few pictures, but couldn't ask anyone because the rain was coming down too hard. When the rain slowed down we found someone in the extras parking lot and we asked her. She said they are filming a Wal-Mart commercial. We found that to be too funny since we don't even have a Wal-Mart here in town. We have to drive at least 30 minutes before we get to one! So if you see a Wal-Mart commercial with football players and cheerleaders in purple that was our little town! Here are a few pictures: (they aren't that great since it was raining)








I just looked up the filming and it says the commercial will begin airing September 3rd. It also said that Wal-Mart donated $10,000 to the football team, cheerleading squad and band.

WOW! It was really coming down, wasn't it? That is so funny that wal-mart picked your town to film a commerical and there isn't even a Wal-mart there.

I LOVE the rain and I miss it. I am in N.California and it NEVER rains here in the summer. I am jealous you get rain at this time of year. Do you love it?
