For the second year the kids and I went with my mom to Relay For Life. Daniel was on a scout campout. It is nice that this event always falls near Fathers Day and it becomes a day to honor my Dad. We brought a lot of small bills to support the various booths selling goods and services to donate the money to the American Cancer Society. Jonah, Micah, and Lea all wanted their faces painted. Jonah wanted a tiger face. He looks grrrreat!
Then of course Micah wanted to be like his brother so he chose to be a blue tiger. Yep, blue is still his favorite color.
And to complete the trio, Lea decided on having a pink tiger face.
So cute!
My three little tiger cubs - the tiger trio!
My aunt Cheryl always makes flower clips to sell and give all the money to fund cancer research. We love to support her and hang out at her booth. :)
We made a bag for my Dad and we stayed late for the luminaria ceremony at dark. This is when the whole field is lined with these bags dedicated to loved ones lost to cancer. Each bag is lit with a glow stick. Then there are a couple of inspiring cancer survivors that speak and beautiful music is played while everyone (holding lit glowsticks) walk the track together. It was a touching ceremony.
The boys bought some extra fun glow sticks.
This was Jonah and my mom, Lea, and Micah on Uncle Ken's shoulders as we walked the track with everyone else. Sweet Lea was quite moved and emotional as she thought of her Grandpa Ken. We love him and miss him so much!
