Walking with Purpose...

This year, some of the 6Th graders at my son's school chose to help raise money for World Vision. Jordan was one of the 100 kids that participated. I took off half a day of work today, to go and take pictures. It was a rewarding and fun afternoon for the boys and girls. (And for me too!)

Look how much money they raised! So proud of them! And they are still taking donations.

They tie dyed shirts after school last week to wear for the big walk...12 laps around the track.


Jordan ran a few. If you notice this is the first "hot?" day we have had this year. Therefore, everyone was still sporting their "winter tans." Of course, since we were not use to the warmer weather, we all thought we were going to melt at 82 degrees. We will be wanting some 82 sun when summer hits and we break the 100's!!!


This of course was the drink of choice. Nothing better than a cold bottle of water...
Thankful for all the money donated so children across the world can have clean drinking water too. It was a good day!
