Today was the walk-a-thon at Bug's school. Last year, as a kindergartner, Bug walked for about 2 hours. Now as a 1st grader, Bug walks the entire time- 5 hours!!! I volunteered to be a mileage stamper again this year. In the morning, I took over the 27 water bottles for one of the classes (it was the class furthest from the front door of the school). Then I had about 2 hours before my shift started at the stamp station. one lap around the school is a half mile (approximately 800 meters). Bug was at lunch when I started my shift, but I soon saw him coming around the school. He was very happy to see me as he walked up to the table.
See- one happy boy to see his momma
Bug walked with one of his classmates. This was later in the afternoon, when I got to walk a lap with him.
RAIN!!!!! One little cloud that spit rain on us for a little while
Bug getting stamped - he had walked 6 miles at this point.
The proof!!!
His classmate's mileage chart, he had walked a mile more than Bug.
The second rain cloud that came and spit rain on us.
Bug finished the day having walked 7.75 miles!!!! I am so proud of him. I loved seeing the kids again and seeing their excitement as they got a stamp. We don't what the money is going to this year, but I heard it was to fund language classes for the younger kids!!!!!!! But I also know that Bug's classroom was flooded and 1200 books his teacher had bought with her own money over her years teaching were destroyed. I am hoping some of the money goes to replace her books.
In the evening, Bug had cub scouts. He was so excited to get his Tiger cap.
I was more excited that he got his first award
Bug earned his soccer pin. He earned a few more things, but there will be a big ceremony for those in early November. I can't wait for that ceremony
There is the pin he earned, it actually goes on his belt
well that is all for tonight.
Love and hugs,
Deb
