We conquered the mountain!!

The climb was awesome! Anyone who was there would tell you the same. We had a turn out of about 50 people for “Team GIANT” and we all made it the 3 miles up and then some! The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time. Once we got to the top my mom drove Josh up there to join us for some hot dogs and pictures. While we were up there I found out that our team raised the most money!! This is especially due to a very generous donation by Aunt Sharon and Len! Thank you both!!!!! We raised a total of about $3,000 for cancer research!!

After the pictures and hot dogs, we had the option of taking a bus down the mountain, or walking down. I think just about everyone on our team opted to walk! Even JOSH!! That’s right; he walked down the full 3 miles! It was great to seem him getting such good exercise. As you can imagine, we were all pretty tired after our big day. The next day Josh woke up feeling pretty good and he made the family breakfast.

For those of you who couldn't make it out this year, get ready for next year! We are definitely planning on making this a tradition. Plus, there may be more events later in the year.

I have uploaded the pictures from the Climb, look under the “Links” section.

We have a very special “thank you” to the Accounting department at The Fountains!! They put together a wonderful gift basket for Josh, Gretchen and the kids. It was a wonderful surprise, and just what they needed! Thank you to those of you in the Barney building!! :)
