GYS Walk 4 Life

We did the 5K Walk 4 Life at my school this morning. This is a wonderful event that our ASB puts on to raise money for cancer research. Hailey and Haiden participated, but it was more like a "Ride 4 Life" for them!


The walk started at 9:00 in the morning. That is pretty early for a Saturday. I don't think the kids were completely awake! We started at my school, walked by Hailey's school, and through the neighborhoods that surround GYS. When we got to the finish line we were all given a medal, goodie bag, and bottle of water. This was a great experience for the kids!




After the walk there were fun things to do, like eat donuts and play in a bounce house. I am very aware that walking (exercise), eating donuts and jumping in a bounce house should probably not all be done at one time. However, it was all for a very good cause. Sometimes as a mom I have to make the tough choices! Ha...that was funny! My kids did not even think twice about it. I am far from the mom who rations fun food. It made me feel a little better to know that I walked before the donut...that usually does not happen for me!




We waited for about 45 minutes at the face painting booth.


Beautiful!


I think he is going to spend the rest of the day looking at his arm. Haiden is feeling pretty cool right now.
