February 7 was Carenet's Walk for Life. We were to get pledges to walk 1-mile around Jensen Beach High School. It was our first time to walk (Bryanna walked a few years ago with friends). The day was overcast and a bit chilly so it was great walking weather. We turned in our forms and were surprised to see there was breakfast of bagels, bread & chicken-biscuit sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A; there was also hot chocolate, coffee and water. For the kids, there were balloons and face/hand painting as well as a bounce house. Torrie got a beautiful flower painted on her hand. There were several Christian dance groups and a hip-hop/rap singing group.
We walked on the school track field - I went 3 times, Bryanna went around 6 times with a friend from school, and Torrie went around 4 times with someone from her Lil K class. Torrie had a blast being able to run freely with all these other people! She loved it!
Then the prizes were announced ... and Torrie won 2nd place for the $70 in pledges for kids under 6! She got Dr Seuss's "Horton Hears a Who", a "quarter horse" bank, a ribbon and some candy. I was amazed because I had no idea there were prizes; and then for Torrie to win was incredible! Thank you to all who helped support us!
Then we had lunch of hot dogs or hamburgers, potato salad or chips, super sweet oranges and lemonade or water. It was an awesome day. Carenet raised their biggest amount of $42,000+. It was their 20th anniversary and it started at Morningside!
Then Bryanna and her friend wanted to go to the mall. David came to pick Bryanna up and as I started my van, it would not start! So David dealt with the battery and I took the girls to the mall. After shopping a bit AWAY from mom, they wanted to go to a movie, so I continued shopping. The girls had a great time hanging together. Obviously we came home pretty tired!
