Walkathon

The kids' school does a fundraising walkathon once a year. Sometimes I make it up there and join in; other times I don't.

This year I planned to go, but I had a dual mission. To walk, of course. But also to snap some pictures to be used in a DVD presentation during the school's fifth grade graduation ceremony a few weeks later. So I walked with all three kids but then had lunch with Clay and the fifth graders to get more pictures. Because, really, isn't the best time for pictures when kids are laughing with their mouths full?

Here's Spencer and Eli, who is Allison's "boyfriend". Two little red heads!



Spencer and his buddy Kevin.



Spencer and "that man teacher" that he was hoping to have as his teacher all last summer. Spencer couldn't remember his name then, but I'm sure he'll never forget it now after the great year he's had in Mr. Holly's class.



Allison walking near Mrs. Counts, who was Clay's third grade teacher... and his favorite teacher ever so far. Both Spencer and Allison had high hopes of having Mrs. Counts as their third grade teacher but she will be moving to teach second grade next year. When I told Spencer that there was no way he'd have Mrs. Counts as his third grade teacher, he said, "Ohhh, but she's my favorite teacher!" I had to remind him that she had never actually been his teacher. Crazy boy!



Here's Allison with her teacher Mrs. Smith. She was Clay's second grade teacher as well and we love her!





The entire fifth grade class. Great bunch of kids.



Clay and his best bud, Joseph.
