Walk for Hope

 Yesterday our family participated in the Everett Gospel Mission's Walk for Hope!  They gave out blue beanies to all of those who walked.  We had to be there at 8:30 am.  After we checked in we were able to have a tour of the Women's shelter which is where the walk started. It was a 1.8 mile walk to the Men's shelter.  We brought a stroller because Naomi was crabby and did not want to walk.
There were about 20 people from our church who walked and we raised over $1800 for the shelter from just our church.  When we arrived at the Men's shelter we were given breakfast which was a breakfast sandwich, muffins, fruit and juice.  After our breakfast were toured the Men's shelter.  We took a shuttle back to car and enjoyed some warm soup after we got home!
