October: Hoover Fund Run

Our elementary school was raising funds for a new track. The children have been running on a hilly dirt path to perform their presidential fitness running award. Each child was asked to find direct donations that would help. Daddy Hall Warbucks ponied up $100 per kid. He is so generous.


Lizzy was the first class we watched. She ran hard for about a lap and then after that it was pure entertainment to walk the track with Grammie.


Andrew was up next and ran his heart out. He was just 2 laps behind the longest lap leader and that was largely because of his asthma which flared up near the end.


Andrew's buddy Nicholas was the lap leader!


Sophie just wanted to hang with Grammie and Papa during her run so we each took turns doing laps with her, even with Ethan on my shoulders and being pregnant!


Otterpops were the reward at the end which couldn't have been a better treat! It was a great event that ended up raising $13,000.00. Not too shabby!
