Busy weekend!
With our new fall schedule, the weeks are long and the weekends are busy! This weekend was no exception. We started with a trip to the coast for the annual Oregon beach clean-up where volunteers come to beaches from the Washington boarder to California to help pick up trash. It was a lot of fun helping out, playing in the surf and checking out the dunes.
The excitement continued when Felix and Elise participated in the Komen Race for the Cure. We did the 5K walk together with other teachers, parents and students from Elise's new school. There were over 46,000 people participating in all of the events making it the largest Race for the Cure event on the west coast and one of their top 5 events in the world. It is always very powerful and moving to take part in such an event!
