Circlehell Pumpkin Parade

My friend who has twins tried to take her kids to the Circlehell Pumpkin Festival. According to my mom about 100,000 people go down each day of the four day festival. I understand there is some good people watching and a majority of the crowd is lit up the whole time. Anyways, back to my friend. She drove down to Circlehell to meet her husband and friends and to participate in a parade. Traffic sucked the whole way down. Trying to find a parking spot sucked even more. After parking in an illegal spot and getting the twins out she proceeded to the festival. It was a warm October night. The place was so crowded. Luckily my friend was smart enough to send herself a text of every block she passed so that she could find her way back to her car. Immediately entering the festival she found her friends. Her husband was on his way. It was complete wall to wall people. Smoking people, kids, strollers, a complete zoo. They proceeded to find her husband. At this point her friend said, isn't it strange that everyone is coughing. As I, I mean my friend took a deep breath she coughed and immediately had a flashback to the time she decided to try out some pepper spray in her kitchen. Oh crap, pepper spray at the festival by her babies. She told her friend adios and pushed forward to find her husband. At this point she is sweating like a cow. She left her map in the car, so she is completely lost. Even though the thing is small, they have to put a ferris wheel on every corner, so you feel like you are going in circles, even though you are not. She was pretty sure someone dropped ashes on her babies. Through the break in the crowd she sees the information desk. At this point she is lost, sweating and crying. She cannot find her husband. A voicemail, which her husband would later hear, was left on her husbands phone with quite a few f bombs. Finally she sees her husband standing there smiling. She is in tears and cannot wait to get the heck out of there. At this point she has been unable to pee (which she does a lot and every twin mom knows it is hard to do in public when you are alone) and is considering just peeing her pants. Her husband found her a port a john, which she visited. After peeing on her leg she decided next time she will just pee her pants. Her and her husband feed the babies quickly. Then she proceeds back (crying babies in tow) to the car as she cannot wait to get the hell out of Circlehell. She later learns there is only one street in and out of Circlehell. I forgot to mention, my friends babies sleep quietly in the car if it is moving. Well, considering there are 100,000 people at the festival, there are about 1,000 trying to get out of the festival on the one available route out. Unfortunately her husband took the GPS, so she could not navigate a new route. Babies crying, mommy crying, disaster. 30 minutes later when the babies are sleeping, my friend is calm and wishes she would have got ahold of herself and stayed in Circlehell for the parade after driving the hour to get there. Oh well, live and learn.
