Gracie’s School Walk-A-Thon

The PTA fundraiser at Gracie’s school this year is a walk-a-thon.  Gracie REALLY wanted us to come up and watch.  Daddy was is Mississippi for work so he couldn’t join us.  I picked Gwynie up from school early to be sure that we would be there on time. I also made a couple signs for Gwynie & I to hold to help cheer on Gracie. 

Gwynie LOVED her sign!!!

Gracie’s reaction when she spotted Gwynie and I with our signs!

Each student received a pedometer for them to use to keep track of their number of steps.  Gracie was SUPER excited that she got to keep it.  In fact, she still has it on.

The staggered each class so that they could each have room to run through the banners they had made!

 On Your Mark…Get Set…GO!!!!

We had a great time cheering Gracie on!  They handed out water bottles filled with beans for noise makers {which Gwyneth loved} and we would hoot and holler each time Gracie made it around the “track” {it was a loop they had set up in the parking lot and it worked perfectly}.  Here are a few pictures of Gracie making her way around the course…

Gracie pretty much had a smile on her face the whole time!

This picture of Gwynie cheering Gracie on {awesome Lil Sis} and Gracie looking over at her is one of my favorites of the day!  Gracie did a great job making sure to wave at Gwynie every time she saw her {awesome Big Sis}.

The girls cooled down after the event with a popsicle!!

The walk-a-thon was a great event and Gracie really enjoyed it!  Gwynie was an awesome cheerleader and was thrilled to be at sissy’s school DURING school time.  Gracie wants to wear her pedometer for the rest of the weekend to see how high she can get the step count before she goes back to school on Monday!
