Rachel participated in a Fun Run at school today. Basically just another way to raise money for the school... Last year Rachel didn't really care about the fundraisers, but this year she does. Fun times! So, she was supposed to get pledges. Individuals were supposed to pledge a dollar amount per lap she would run/walk. So, we pledged $1 per lap. Rachel ended up completing 33 laps in the time allowed, so we donated $33 to the school. Rachel was actually quite disappointed she didn't complete 35 laps - the "lap cap". But she came home this afternoon and did 2 more laps at home and I marked them off on her shirt.
Parents were encouraged to go cheer their children on. So, Ian, Audrey, and I headed to the school around 8:30 am. And boy were we glad they were done by 9:20. It was already getting hot and there isn't much shade to be had at her school! Anyhow, I grabbed a few pictures.
Ready to go:
