We volunteered at the Waco Miracle Marathon today. It started out as a chance for Stephanie to get a service point for her school service organization, but our whole family volunteered. We had to be at the location by 7:45 to get ready: pour cups of water and Gatorade and be ready to hand them to the runners as they passed by. We were at the top of a hill at Mile 7, so the runners were happy to get a drink. It was 27 degrees when we started and only about 40 degrees when we finished our stint. Rachel was pretty well dressed for the cold but Stephanie had on ankle-high socks and thin Converse tennis shoes and her feet were frozen.

ReplyDeleteGreat family project to volunteer together. I want to do some of that with my kids but my job schedule makes it difficult. Cute photo of Rachel!
ReplyDeleteBut stephanie probably looked good and that's what's important! That's a great photo of Rachel and the runner.
