This week the kids had their annual Fun Run at their school. This is really the one fundraising event of the year for the kids. They encourage them to collect pledges in the weeks leading up to the event, but my heart was not in it. As the day approached I fully intended to just write a check and call it a day. On the day before the event though, Merrick told me his teacher had talked to them about stepping up to support their school and he told be he wanted to go out and collect pledges. Unfortunately it was raining, but I just couldn't tell him no, so out we went. In the end, the kids ended up with $95 for their school.
On the day of the event, the sun thankfully came out and it was just about the perfect day. We live in a quiet town so the local police department was able to spare not one, but two officers to get our fun run started. Carrigan ran 4 laps (about a mile) and Merrick ran 5. Elsie and I cheered and walked a bit with each of the kids. Elsie especially liked the two popsicles that she got.
It was another great Fun Run.
