Pictures

I know I promised to put the pictures up over the weekend, but then I realized that the pictures weren't on the computer as I had thought. Here they are now! Enjoy! (sorry the pictures won't be in order but I'll try and explain them as I go...)
Sarah and Jodi one morning at breakfast.


Our home! We were the pink sprinkes! The white tarps on top were shower curtains. We're so creative.

You can more clearly see downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis.


This boy was on our walk the 2nd day. He was wearing his sister's princess dress riding his bike up and down the street calling "Lemonade! 25 cents!" while his sister was at their table selling lemonade.



The walkers.

I thought this was a really cool picture. You can see both downtown St. Paul (bigger) and downtown Minneapolis. This was the first day of our walk after lunch.

Sarah at breakfast one morning.

On the 2nd day of the walk we walked by a fire station all decorated for us walkers.


Jodi and I had to get a picture with the fireman.


A grand ladder salute to us walkers!
This is me on the 2nd day of the walk. You can see all the pink tents behind me. We all slept in these pink tents.



Jodi one day on the walk.


Sunrise on walk day 2. We got up before sunrise every day and began walking around 7/7:30



There were flags which people carried throughout the walk. On the first day Jodi was passed the flag "My Daughter." She was a trooper and carried it about 5 miles until we got to the next rest stop where she passed it on.


Ahh... Home sweet home. Even though this picture was taken in the morning.
I have close to 100 pictures so I'll just post them over the course of the week. So keep coming back to see more pictures!
Melissa and I walked the Mall of America on Saturday and then went shopping in the mall. We figured we walked somewhere between 6 and 7 miles on Saturday! Official training doesn't even begin until the middle of March too!

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK!

If there is anyone out there who is reading this blog still. I wanted to let you know that I'm back. After a few month hiatus I decided to come back and blog because... I'm doing the 3 day again! This time I am going to be fighting the heat of the Minneapolis summer in August. This year my one hope is for someone to be at a cheering station for my team (besides Will and his dad).



I will be putting ALL the pictures up from the walk this weekend. So, check back then!



And don't forget, Donations are very important!
