Walker Extraordinaire

Last Friday was a fund raiser at Isabel's school. They decided to incorporate their p.e. department and have a walk-a-thon. Now, I echo Jason's post of a few days ago in wondering about the fun found in running. But Isabel anticipated participating. She is a very good runner and truly enjoys this activity. Parents were told when the kids would be walking according to grade level and were invited to come and cheer on their kids. So Acacia, James, Brenton and I went and did just that. We had a nice time cheering for Isabel every time she came around the bend, however, James was quite frightened of the school mascot, The Mitchell Eagle. These pictures were all taken one handed as I held onto James while he clung to me for dear life. (I think we'll skip meeting any characters when we go to Disneyland in a few weeks.) Thanks to you who supported Isabel as she did her walk(run)-a-thon. Acacia can't wait to do it next year. By the way, Isabel brought home her lap card today informing us that she completed 16 laps. Way to go Isabel!!
