This past Friday Anders and Jorja participated in their first school-wide Move-A-Thon. As the biggest fundraiser for their school and with "Lap Goals" of 8, we excitedly pledged each one $5 per lap. Well, while cheering on the sideline, I watched two very determined kids -- there were no stops, no walking, very little talking, lots of smiling, and impressive maneuvering around those that were moving slower -- complete a whooping 29 laps (J with 16 and A with 13).
Lined up and heading over to the starting zone.
A few minutes before the start.
Anders smiling his way around the track.
Jorja in the "zone" of determination.
Counting each participants final tally. Jorja tied her best friend, Caleb, for the most number of laps in the entire class. She also informed me later that day that she would have run more laps, if she had been able to put her head down for speed and hadn't needed to run around all the other kids.
Look at our Big Boy!
