The Annual Halk Walk

Every year the Elementary school that my kids attend has 1 fund raiser, it is a fundraiser that my kids really love. They collect donations, either per lap, or flat donations. Then they walk/run/jog around a track for 1 hour. They raise enough money to help buy things for the school, as well as give money to the teachers to help them out as well. My kids really look forward to this every year.
Kylee, and Cayden are VERY COMPETITIVE!!! They always try to get the most laps in their class, usually there is a prize for that person. This year however, they were told to take it easy...
Kylee had a soccer game in Bountiful, and Cayden had a football scrimmage, and hasn't been feeling great for over a month. They still had fun, and both of them did awesome!


Right before they started, I got this picture of Kylee and her friend Maren. They had fun "chatting" as they ran together! This was Kylee's last Halk Walk, and it was really sad for her. I have a feeling we are going to have a lot of lasts this year. I makes me sad to think that she is growing up so dang fast...they all are for that matter! Luckily she is a good girl!
Here is Cayden and a bunch of his friends, they are so funny how "pumped" they get before this thing!

Halle Had her first Halk Walk, this is Halle and her friend Autumn posing before they started!


Look how cute they are holding hands...they held hands the whole time they walked.

Here they are talking a water break in between the laps. They all had a fun time, but boy were they ALL tired last night! I don't think any of them said a word after their head hit the pillow!

How cute. I love it when the kids get excited to help out and do something for the school. How much did you have to fork out?

That is so cute! I wish Mason's school did something like that. Instead, he has to try and sell frozen cheesecakes and crap. Where is the fun in that?

we did a similar thing when i was in elementary school. the only memory i have of it, though, was holding my friends feet while she did sit ups and having her fart every time she sat up. good times...sorry. shouldn't have said the "f" word.
