Relay and Bark for Life

(Note the photo bomber in the background)

This year we only made a quick stop off at Relay For Life.  We stayed long enough to help serve some BBQ and let the kids play and visit some of the other booths, like the face painting.  Emily got to meet up with Kaylee and the boys got to hang out with Perrin.  Kaylee and Perrin's mom works with us and also will baby sit from time to time if we need someone to stay at the house with the kids.

Mid-West metal raised over $12,000.00 through our Bark For Life event, which we were the hosts, and Relay for Life of Delaware County . Bark for Life is a cancer walk for survivors with their dogs although, we did have someone register and walk their goat as well.  We weren't able to attend this event due to a soccer tournament but I'm hoping my schedule works out to be able to go next year.

We were the number one fundraising team at Relay and our co-workers presented a check to the American Cancer Society at the event. (We weren't there for this but below is a picture of our team).  You can see pictures in The Star Press from the Bark for Life here.  

We left Relay early so that we could take the kids to the Drive Inn Theatre!  There is still one left in nearby Winchester and we made the drive out to watch a couple of movies.  We had the kids in chairs behind the car watching their movie while we were inside the van watching the other screen.  None of the kids had ever been so it was something fun and new that we could all do and all enjoy.  I'm hoping to go back again before the summer is over.  You can't beat paying $26 for 6 people to watch four different movies (2 on each screen) AND you can bring your own food and drinks!
