Glad It's Over

Our Relay for Life was a success. We met and exceeded our financial goal. Our disappointment came when we thought we would be the only team selling smores for the evening but ended up being one of three or one of four. We were the only team allowing you to roast your own marshmallows, but either way it didn't go over as big as we had hoped. Several people joked that we should sell time by our fire because as the night went on, the weather got cooler, and the dew fell making you cold and wet.

I'm going to learn more about the American Cancer Society. This year we did the Relay kind of out of obligation to our family. However, I don't have a problem working hard for a charity and having fun at it. I'm going to find out how the money is spent and I'll get back with you on whether it is a worthy cause.

There were lots of things to do all night long. They had karaoke, volleyball tournaments, tricycle races, balloon toss, egg toss, and lots more. Plus, there was plenty of time to just sit and visit with people that you maybe don't have that opportunity with at other times.

I'm glad it's over just because I felt like I was worrying over it too much, but I did enjoy the evening and I especially enjoyed just hanging out not having to worry about where my kids were or if they were ok. My Dad and Mom took great care of them and the boys had fun.
