Relay for Life

On Saturday the kids and I joined the team "Waves of Grace" from our church to participate in the Relay for Life at Ventura Beach State Park.  We were all excited to participate in this great even to raise money for cancer research. 

While the main point of the event was to walk laps, there was quite a bit of fun to be had along the way!  Having the kids there meant that we focused on the fun!  During one of our laps, Faith wanted to stop at the booth to dress up like a firefighter!  She looked great!  We sent the picture to Steve, who was at work, as Faith was very excited to think she might be wearing the same thing he was at that time!
 
The kids thought they should walk a lap and then have a snack of some sort!  There was food at our team's headquarters as well as food for purchase along the walking path!  One of our food breaks included some shaved ice!
 
Faith made sure she looked the part for the "Flower Power" themed hour!  Over the course of the three hours that we spent at the Relay for Life, the kids each walked eight laps which equaled two miles!  They did a great job, had fun, and want to do it again next year!  Our team raised $4000 for cancer research!  Way to go team Waves of Grace!
