My first ever Relay for Life walk was a wonderful, albeit very rainy, experience. I was amazed at just how many people in my little community have been touched by cancer...I simply never knew.
It was a great learning experience for my daughters, my girl scout troop and I to learn and be part of, and I'm confident it will be an annual event for all of us.
Thank you to everyone who financially supported me...I hope the girls and I did you proud by walking and walking and walking for such a great cause!

The entire track was lined with these luminaries purchased and dedicated to loved ones. We personally purchased them for:
For Dan's dad, aka Papa!
Judith Johnson (the sister of our family friend John Galvin)
Kerri Angelo (Lauren's kindergarten teacher)
In Loving Memory of Paula Murphy (the mom of our dear family friend Ellen)
Every year, the Roger Williams Zoo hosts a Scout Safari Day. It's always in the Spring when eveyone is super busy with sports and such, but this year my troop was somehow able to fit it in...and I'm really happy we did. We learned so much and were able to see and touch many new animals! 
Just in case you've never seen Elephant pajamas!!!
