The Walker family participated in the first annual 5K run for the Kids First Adoption Agency. Proceeds from the event paid for a playground at an orphanage in Russia. Most of the orphanages do not let the kids outside until age 2 or 3, so it should provide some much needed entertainment for the older orphans. The weather on Saturday morning was gorgeous out at Fort Benjamin Harrison park. Thankfully, the rain held off until the car ride home. The kids enjoyed the scenic trail, but their frequent requests to stop and walk ruined our efforts to set a 5K record time. We enjoyed the chance to see so many children from all over the world join together for this good cause. Saturday, May 17, 2008
