Mallory's Fun Run Event

Lynda Ann and Mallory planned a Fun Run to help Mallory earn some money for her trip to California the first of July.  They asked Neal and I if we would come out and help them.  Annie wanted Neal to cook pancakes for the runners when the finished the race.  We drove out there at 6:30 and helped get every set up.  As it turned out there were very few people who showed up.  We found out that there were two major runs that morning and that the stake had all the youth at a hike in preparation for Pioneer Trek.

Even with the few who came we had a good time.  It was an incredible amount of work for Lynda Ann to organize, advertise, shop and pull this thing off.  I was really proud of her and how much she did.  She is one organized machine!!

Mallory was still able to raise $400.00 which basically accomplished their goal and she has now raised all she needed and that included her eating expenses.  So even though it was a lot of work, it put her over the top.

Some fun pictures from the Fun Run.  This first picture is the lanyards that everyone got at the end of the race for participating.  You can see by the pictures that the theme was Peanuts Characters.  No surprise there.  Mallory loves Peanuts!

 Emmi and Pa after the event had ended.  Love Neal's apron made by the Gertsons.

 Andrew helping Pa and getting some expertese on how to set up and run a camp stove.  I think Andrew got his eyelashes and bangs singed just a bit.  Someone wasn't teaching very well!

This is a huge Peanuts banner that Emmi talk the theater management out of by bribing them with a plate of home made cookies!  

All the food and ingredients for the breakfast was furnished by the local grocery store.  They couldn't give money, but could give product.  Annie had fruit, muffins, syrup, butter and two bags of pancake mix donated.  

 Waiting for the race to start.  There were prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.

This picture was taken as the girls were leaving to put balloons at all the major areas to tell the runners the designated path for the 4 miles.

 Cute picture of our darling Mallory!

 This was the sign in table and where the runners picked up their numbers.

 Just a silly picture of my shadow and Annies as we were talking with each other.

 It was a fun morning and Neal and I enjoyed being asked to be a part of it.  Neal made a very generous donation to the cause to help Mallory on her way.  We are proud of you Mallory and wish you the best of luck at your National event in July.
