Relay for Life

Last night the whole family participated in the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society. My library had a team, and it seemed like a good thing - family time with a cause - so we packed up Wesley, dug our walking shoes out and hit the track. Here is Wesley making sure his stroller had the essential fruit and veggie puffs packed, and staying hydrated on the track.
We walked from 7-8. Wesley really enjoyed it at first. He swung his legs, clapped his hands, looked around and talked to other walkers. He especially liked it when Daddy made the stroller pop a wheelie or spin in circles, or side swipe a trash can. Little Dude made it until the last two laps when he finally gave in to sleep.

Sleep only lasted until we exited the track though. As soon as we made it back to the team tent, he was up and ready to go. I wish I was that refreshed after a ten minute nap! Of course, it could have been because I said the magic words "Ice cream!" We ended our healthy evening of walking for cancer research by downing ice cream cones at the local Dairy Queen. Does anyone else find that a little....odd?
