I spent Wednesday morning volunteering at the First Annual Fun Run. The local elementary school usually raises money through an auction. However, the lousy economy is keeping businesses from donating the way they usually do. The school’s answer was a “Fun Run,” where kids got pledges for each lap they completed.I was happy to see both of my girls participating happily. Neither of them ran the entire time (which was about an hour), but they both kept moving. I was especially happy to see Elodie completing laps. We tried to participate in a family 5K walk last spring. Elodie made it about twenty steps before she said, “I’m tired. I don’t want to walk anymore.”
Even Camille participated. She only did one lap, but she thought hanging out on the playground was great.
Here's Elodie getting a snack between laps.

Wow, an hour, good for them! Our school does something similar ("The Jog-a-thon") but I think they only have them run/jog/walk for 30 minutes or so.
Believe me, I saw a lot of walking in this event.
Who is Camille's friend? Or did you have another baby without telling me?
You remember our friends who lived in Israel? The little boy is their one-year-old. He's funny because he likes to push Camille even though they get along really well otherwise.
Gosh I love these three little girls!
