Walk-A-Thon

E's preschool does an annual Walk-A-Thon to raise money for preschool scholarships.  So, we of course capitalized on E's cuteness and petitioned Grandmas and Grandpas and our wonderful neighbor for donations.  They were all awesomely supportive and pledged to donate some funds to E for each lap she walked with her class.

Now of course, I couldn't miss this photo opportunity.  How often to do you get to watch a bunch of 3 and 4-year-olds in matching "I ( red heart) Dublin" shirts walk in circles and not trample each other?  It's kind of amazing.  For those of you who donated, here are your promised pictures!

 Ready to go.

 And they're off!!!

 They were supposed to walk, but all the kids took off running.  Most of them ran all 5 laps.

 A break after the first lap!

 They got a sticker after each lap so they knew how much further to go.

 This is E's "boyfriend."  He's a cutie.

 After 3 laps E stopped running and decided a leisurely stroll was much better.  

 Stopping to smell the...well, grass, I guess.

 B was happy hanging out in the Ergo carrier and watching all the kids run by.

 The hat wouldn't stay on.  Makes her look a little squished.  

 I did it!!!!

To quote E at the end, "Mom, I was AWESOME!!!"
