My work volunteered today to help out with the Human Race. It is a 10k run, 5k run/walk to help out The Learning Center here in town that help children with disabilities and Autism. If we volunteer for 3 hours Kohl's donates $500. Carmen got to come along and help. She was great! We pulled tags off the runners as they came across the finish line; to keep their standings in order. Carmen was going right up to all the runners cheering them on and pulling off their tags. What a great experience for her!
They had a balloon man, Elmo(he used to work with Grampy), and they had teams with animals. There were llamas, goats, rabbits, dogs, a ferret, and a pony pulling a wagon. Carmen throughly enjoyed herself. And, I was so proud to be able to teach her about helping others.
