The kids ran in a 5k fundraiser for Special Olympics with our friend Bonnie. They started training at the beginning in February and it took more work than they expected! To help keep them motivated, Bryan and I donated $5 for every two mile run and $10 for every three mile run, up to $100 each.
Brett made a banner for the occasion. The night before the event, the kids thought we should carb-load, so I made million dollar mac-n-cheese.In the morning, Bonnie came by to watch the opening events (virtual) and we unveiled the grand total raised - $1,463! That's for six of us, because Bryan and I entered and walked the 5k. But the kids raised most of the money!
It turned out to be a beautiful middle of April morning in Minnesota. We were not quite frozen - it was 34 degrees!
We went in pairs. Reggie and Lydia finished in 32 minutes, Brett and Bonnie finished in 42 minutes, and Bryan and I walked it in 48 minutes! After the 5k, we stopped at Kwik Trip for breakfast - that was Brett's favorite part.
I've never heard of million dollar mac and cheese. I will have to look that up as 4/5 of our family likes mac and cheese.
