31 for 21: Day 17 {Buddy Walk 2009}

Written By Bethany

Today was our Buddy Walk ... this was our family's 4th annual Buddy Walk and our first year as Two Girls Tribe (previously known as Payton's Posse). I was on the committee this year, so I have come to learn all that goes into planning an event like this!

Who knew?

Although being on the committee is something that is very important to me, it has also allowed me to expand my local network greatly ... and for that I am thankful. I have come to find some awesome friends along the way.

Anyway.

While we raised a lot of money from pre-event fundraising ... over 150K ... we were totally bummed to have rain and cold on the day of the Buddy Walk. Not only for fundraising purposes, but for fun purposes!

Instead of enjoying the weather and letting the kids run and play, we saw a lot of this ...

And this ...

We had some pretty amazing entertainment and guests this year, including Rachel Coleman from Signing Time ...

The girls enjoyed their view of the walk from under a rain cover ... that rain was such a bummer.

After the walk, the committee got to spend a little bit of time with Rachel. She and her husband were very sweet. Here is a lovely shot of my friend, Linda, and I with Rachel. Unfortunately all of our kids had already gone home, so none of them got to meet her.
Thank you so much to everyone who supported our team this year. We raised a little over $3,000 all because of you! Every team that raised over $2,000 got a personalized mile marker. Here is ours, although we were not able to decorate it because of the rain ...
Our stars for the day ...
