Look at the excitement on their faces. For all of their awesome work with homeschooling the past few weeks, for all of their patience with mama as she goes through the motions of dealing with an ill parent, and for the dedication and pure love driving them to make this Relay nothing short of a success, we took a field trip today to the National Museum of Play in Rochester.
They had such a blast. We spent SEVEN hours there, playing, being kids (yes, even me), and no one wanted to leave.
Mama was reminded of a difficult lesson, and wished that the Bear Family could make it all go away.
We visited the Dancing Wings Butterfly Conservatory, and this species was attracted to all three of us. One landed on my neck, one landed on Savannah's leg, and one landed on the back of Nathanael's head. I wonder if there is any significance?
We officially have 100 days left until the Relay. We have our fundraiser in Rochester scheduled for May 11th with The Skycoasters. We also have a local fundraiser coming up hosted by a family favorite restaurant, Cheeburger Cheeburger. The date just needs to be confirmed, and more details will follow. Of course the Kick Cancer In The Can and Nathanael's Knock Out Cancer Challenge are ongoing. We're selling luminaria bags for decoration around the track for $5 apiece; bags are to be decorated, and at dark will be lit in honor of, in support of, in memory of, or in celebration of anyone whose life has been affected by cancer. 100 days. A lot can happen in 100 days. We have set a lofty fundraising goal for ourselves, but those little cheerleaders at the top of the page seem to think it can be done, so I'm following suit with their positivity and allowing their light to shine the way to achieving that goal.
