Relay for Life

There's not a lot I can say about the Relay for Life. It was hot, it was so much fun, but it was also a very very emotional day. I had a great time and laughed a lot (especially around 2 and 3 am :) ). Thank goodness we weren't right above the sprinklers, that's a 4:18 am wake-up call I got to do without.



Smiles for Miles was named Best New Team and we raised more than $8,000 for cancer research. What a wonderful and giving group of friends we have!

Morgan was a dream. She spent nearly 12 hours in the heat and sun and only complained a little (when she was told she had to leave ;) ).

Locks of Love

Morgan and I grew our hair out to donate for wig-making. Yesterday was the big day to get the cut! Morgan cut off more than a foot, and mine was about 10 or 11 inches. Here are before and after photos.

Dancing Queen

The big day is Saturday! So you think you can dance?

Morgan in her 3 costumes:





Memorial Day Parade

The Brownies marched in the Parade on Monday. It was very hot, but there was a nice breeze, so it didn't feel too bad.

Morgan & Emily waiting patiently at the monument for the speeches.

Rocky Raccoon

We moved Mom into her new apartment and while looking out the window to the back, we saw Rocky Raccoon sitting on the fallen tree cleaning himself! Isn't he cute?




Memorial Day Program...

In the rain. Last year we were packing frozen ice bottles for the Memorial Day program. To beat the heat, they scheduled it for earlier in the day, unfortunately, Mother Nature wasn't told of the change in plans. It was cold and drizzly, but always a nice way to honor our veterans.

Farm Fun!

We brought the Brownies to the farm to earn their plants try-it. This kitty was sitting in the field, looking for mice, I think!



The girls planted seeds to bring home and lettuce seeds for the salad garden at the farm.
