Good morning and welcome to my blog.
I have been so excited to share some pictures from a "Color Run" my family participated in this past week in Phoenix, AZ. We have not had rain for months and the weekend of the race, it has rained for three straight days. We were so sure that the weather would be fabulous because it was in Phoenix. What else could it be. Well, a little rain didn't stop our family. The only concern that we had was that the people conducting the event might cancel the race because of the weather. But, the race was on.....and was it ever fun. The race was for the "Special Olympics" in our area.
( Sponsoring those with Disabilities)
It is a very worthwhile cause. A division of my work is devoted to children and adults with disabilities.
However, for my family, we had our own special reason for participating in the run.
Our family dedicated the run to Mike who passed away three years on ago on January 25th from cancer and to a dear friend of ours "Krista" that is struggling with her fight against cancer.
My daughter, Elisa made the Perry the Platypus hats....Yes, we are the Perry clan.
A friend from work came down a participated with us too. I feel bad we didn't get pictures of her. She barely made it in time for the race.
Here are our fun "before" and "after" pictures.
We stopped for lunch at "Red Robin" on the way home. I must say we really got some looks from people. I guess not everyone knew about the "Color Run". Oh well. We had a blast and that is what counts. Thanks to my family for making this one of the best weekends in some time..Love you all.

Love the hats Nancy - you have one very talented friend to make them. Love your card too. It makes me think of Spring, which I am still (im)patiently waiting for. Hope you have a good week. Holly x
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy what awesome photo's I just love them especially those T-Shirts, that looked wonderful to start with and then what happened they got wet and whatever they were coloured with ran together which looks totally amazing and it was for such a good cause.
ReplyDeleteI do love you card is looks so sweet and the pink plaid paper is just so pretty. Still very hot and humid here but it did rain last night for a first time in over 6 weeks, it's think misty rain hopefully it will green up our lawn which is brown. Take care and have a lovely week.
