Pamela Burke 5k

Today was a special one. The school my mother-in-law used to work for held a 5k race in honor of her memory. They raised over $8,000 for breast cancer research! We all had a great time, celebrating the life of such an amazing woman...
Zack got up and thanked everyone for being there.... his mom's so proud! :)
Opening ceremonies
They had Zack cut the ribbon to start the walk
The Orioles Bird showed up!
Zack, me, Ethan & Spencer
They're going to place this tree and plaque in the garden of the elementary school. So sweet.....
Matt and Abby....his girrrrrrrrrrlfriend (as Ethan likes to put it) ;)
