Walking for a Friend

Last weekend we went on the "Great Strides for Cystic Fibrosis" walk. One of Olivia's best friends has cystic fibrosis and so her Girl Scout troop decided that they wanted to pledge $200 of the money they earned selling cookies to the foundation. It was a great opportunity to teach the girls about giving back to both a friend and the community.

The walk was fun and a nice little workout! I certainly didn't have to get on the elliptical that day, whew.

We all went, the family I mean. We decided to make a morning of it together. It was really chilly, though. For a late spring day it was almost cold! But, the sun came out and warmed us for the walk.

After we walked, we headed back to the main area in the park for our reward - sub sandwiches and pizza! There was also a really great playground there and it turned out to be the hit of the morning. All of the kids, big and small, loved playing on it.

Overall, it was nice to contribute to a good cause, spend some family time together and teach Olivia how to give to others.
