“Walk the Amazon”

D’s school had their annual fall fundraiser today, in which the kids walk 5 miles down and up Amazon Creek. They met their fundraising goal of $30K, which means the kids will get to duct tape their principal to the flag pole. Hard to wait for that one!

Afterwards, D. ate popcorn and a sno-cone, jumped around a big bounce-house, and played some bingo. I helped staff the library, which was a haven for maybe 10 kids who avoided the noise (they certainly didn’t need my help, but I was glad to be there, and ended up checking out Leviathan, as recommended to me recently by shoeless_girl). D. did not win a $100 bill in the raffle, but one of his friends got a Gamestop gift card.
