The boys' school hosted a "water walk" today to get a better understanding and appreciation of how fortunate they are to have access to clean water. The school is divided up into 50 teams that carried water a mile (2 times around the school). Kids were on teams across the grades. The money raised will go to three different charities (including one in Flint Michigan). It's been good to talk to the boys about how people in our own country don't have access to fresh water.
I helped set up for the event this morning. I hope the boys have a good time, are good teammates, and appreciate what they have.

To wrap up the week, we enjoyed the Monarch Mingle tonight. T-man originally didn't want to go, but of course, had a great time. Music, food trucks, and friends - pretty good for a Friday night. Unfortunately, it was freezing. Maybe spring isn't here just yet.....
