The March of Dimes campaign is officially over.
Jackson & I met the GCSAA team at South Park this morning and, along with the rest of the Lawrence participants, we "Marched for Babies". Or, more accurately, I marched and Jack snoozed in the stroller.
The rain held off and it actually made for a cool and comfortable morning. A perfect day for a 3-mile stroll.
Here are a few pics of our team getting ready to go.
There were lots of activities for kids - clowns, face painting, balloon animals and a bounce house to name a few. Jackson didn't really understand all the fuss so we skipped most of the activities this year; but he did get to meet a local celebrity.
After crossing the finish line, everyone was served pancakes by
Chris Cakes (these guys can flip pancakes like nobody's business!). Jack was definitely a fan of that part. He wasn't too excited about the "I Did It" sticker on his shirt, though.
In the end, we raised exactly $300 for the March of Dimes. That's 300% of the $100 goal I initially set for myself!
It was a fun morning and a good cause.
I think we'll do it again next year.
