Take me out to the ball game...and to Cowgirls Inc.

We went with Joyce and Eric Bloomquist to the Mariner's game on Friday night. We had a great time and the Mariner's were actually winning!

We ended up at Cowgirls Inc . after the game- the guys love the dancing ladies...but Joyce and I...

We rode the bull!

OK, Eric did too!

Lisa and I watched the Seahawks game on Sunday.

Light the Night

Debbie and I met up with Michelle, Spencer, Bobby, and Valarie - plus all the kids to honor Aunt Judy in the Light the Night walk. It was a pretty cool experience with the blinking red and gold balloons.

Yes, Benjamin Franklin was there!

The 2008 Breast Cancer 3 Day

These picture are a little out of order, but you'll get the gist!

Walking through Bellevue, day one - it was pretty hot, and the route skirted all around Bellevue - familiar territory.

He was electronically prepared, as always. With the GPS we were able to count off every painful mile. We learned that GPS miles are a lot longer than "Komen" miles.

Opening Ceremonies - it took almost 2 hours to get out on the route. 3299 walkers take a while to get going.

Obviously someone was tired - good focus job!

At the end of the day we arrived at Marymoor Park. Jessie and her boyfriend, Alec, were so cool and set up our tent and got our gear from the trucks.

Stretching out at Microsoft - day one.

This is obviously early in the walk as we are all smiles!

Lunch at Meydenbauer Park in Bellevue

These feet are made for walking....this was opening ceremonies.

We took this picture for the kids. Lakeview Elementary school is where they both went to grade school.

I spent almost a year at this place - glad to be out on the walk!

These ladies were hilarious and followed the walkers each day. He just had to drive the cow car!

Day one down...two to go. 22.5 miles the first day.

Day two requires a bit more stretching...

Day three we drove to the Arboretum to start the final stretch to the Space Needle.

All the tents were taken down and we got ready to finish this thing! Yeah, it's dark.

OK, back to Day 2!

Starting the walk on day 2.

Stretching in Wallingford - good thing you can stretch and email at the same time.

The gear!

TOMMY Called!!!! While we were walking around Greenlake we got the weekly call from Tommy. He sounded great and happy to be able to talk to us.

The bones!

At the University of Washington - this is the morning of day 3.


We took this one for Stephanie!

The Fremont Bridge.

Lunch at Gas Works Park. (day 3)

I don't know where this is...some park...

On the street in Seattle by the ferry terminals. 2.5 miles to go!

Along Lake Union - this was very refreshing!

Cheering in the final walkers!

...and taking their pictures.

The sculpure garden - obviously I need to figure out how to rotate these pictures..

Again...nice focus - but this is the end...they say 60 miles...but the GPS says 61! And trust me that last one was a doosy!

The survivors coming into closing ceremonies. I am in the middle at the top - flag and flowers in my pink hat.

Pit stop 2 on Ravenna. Day 3. We were pretty sore but taking it one step at a time.

Back to closing ceremonies.

Waiting for the ceremonies to start as the final walkers were coming in.

OK, so the reason this picture is funny is because all day, my husband was pushing and pushing to get to the front of the pack. He did NOT want to be in the last bunch to come in. I think we were in the first 100 or so to finish.

This is day 1 - I think I am talking to Jessie.

The survivor circle!

As you can see the room really filled up.

Our home for two nights!

Thank you to everyone who supported us this year. It was a long way for a good cause. We think we'll sponsor Jessie and her friends next year! Maybe my husband will dress up like a cow! :)
