Today Will walked in the annual Jefferson Elementary Tech Trek. This is a huge fund raiser each year for Will's school. Each student gathers pledges or donations for each lap they can walk around the track at Hart Field. It really is pretty fun every year. the kids have a great time and the parents have some fun hanging out in the infield. This year was a little less than perfect, only because of the weather. We had rain, hail, sleet, wind, some thunder and lightening and finally at quiting time... sunshine.
NOtice everyone in their down coats and hats... this was just before the thunder and lightening began. These are the types of things that we parents will be able to hold over the kids heads for years! "Remember that time I stood outside and watched you walk for three hours in the freezing rain?!!?" they'll owe us for years :)
Thomas rocks the hotdog costume... he runs Bloomsday in this suit every year too!
A soccer game broke out in the middle of the field
Yes it was 50 degrees and freezing rain and wind, but who wouldn't want an ice cream bar?
Where was Caleb today, having a ton more fun hanging with Grandma and Grandpa
Will finished a little early, he was ready to head to the post-walk BBQ (so was mom) but he completed 28 laps... 7 miles! Not too shabby. He earned $132 for the school. Not bad for a fun afternon with his buddies.
