As a fundraiser, Addy's school holds a fun run at Herriman High School. Prior to the event, they send home a big manilla envelope where the kids are supposed to go around and ask for a flat donation. Addy was so excited to go around to all the neighbors and ask for money. I told her that maybe we should just stick to family since almost everyone in our neighborhood had kids that they had to pay for as well.
Addy: But Mom, they said we need to ask friends and neighbors too!
And Addy, being known for her strict obedience to everyone but her parents, did not want to let her school down. So we picked a few homes of empty-nesters in our neighborhood and she figured out what she wanted to say, and off she went to beg for money. (embarrassing!)
Luckily, we have super kind neighbors who made her feel like a complete success! Add in Grandma and Grandpas and she felt like she had definitely done her part for the school.
Thank you to all!!

And then they were off! Addy did a great job running 4 times around the track. After the first lap, London wanted to join her and surprisingly didn't stop until she finished too.
(Not sure who the girl in front in purple is, but man did I get a good action shot of her!)
Our little runners!
