The BIG day came and I can't wait until next year! There was so much to do, the previous few days we had perfected the wagon sailboat (turned out to be a fail, I was not happy with it), made the signs and oars (I LOVED them and was very happy with myself), pack the trucks (notice the plural, the Expo and Van were packed), and our next days agenda was set.
We would leave by 8:30, get Dunkin Coffee because let's face it we all needed it, except me, I got tea! Leaving by 8:30 didn't happen, it was more like 9:00, 9:15ish. We got our morning needs and were off to the Bob Carpenter Center. Ten minutes later, we had arrived, parked in the circle, found our tent space and began to unload! Set up our tents, put out the food and coolers, decorated to make it festive, and laid out our blankets! Shawn was in a bit of a tizzy, so I took Hannah to the Dollar Store because I forgot string, we picked up my friends from campus, and were back on our way to the tents! People began arriving while others explored the festivities surrounding us; cute kids, face painting, moon bounces, obstacle courses, raffles, food, and friends!
Time really seemed to be flying by and soon enough we were being called to line up and kick of the walk!

 |
| Great friends help you in supporting great causes! |
 |
| So adorable. Ryley and Hannah! |
Meet Ryley Sweet, our youngest fundraiser! See that Skittles can? It contains: $45.09. She raised this money all by herself, her friends helped contribute, she saved her change, this girl is phenomenal! She has big dreams, she wants to get a sponsor for the next walk! Props to Ryley! Thank you!

| Bailey! I don't even want to guess what she's thinking about! |
 |
| By the end of the day, that sign faded so much! Next year we'll get a real one! |
