Fun Run 2008

This year, the PTA fundraiser at Dallin & Matthew's elementary school was a Fun Run.  Each kid runs around a "track" and does as many laps, running or walking, as they want to in 30 minutes.  The PTA makes money from the kids registering ($5 each) and from people pledging flat amounts for the kids running or per lap.  Each kid gets a gold medal (which my boys LOVE) and they have popcorn & snow cones that you can buy.  Then, after the kids race, parents can race as well - just one lap.  The last part of the evening is drawings for fun prizes.  Matthew won 5 tickets to Boondocks - he was so excited!  Dallin didn't win anything (again) - he was pretty sad, but I think he is over it.  Dallin & Matthew both did great!  It was a fun night - and we didn't eve get rained on.

That's awesome! And sounds like fun! Your kids are so great....I think that if they told me to run around a track for them to make money I would tell them to hit the road! ha ha.
