Sope Creek Boosterthon

It turns out that the Boosterthon was a much bigger deal than I was expecting.  Over $77,000 was raised for Sope Creek Elementary and it was QUITE the production.

Each class was introduced and ran through a tunnel to their screaming families.  I tried my best to capture the moment when Railey ran out, but didn't pack the right lens.  Baby steps....at least I remembered my camera.

Saying Railey was excited was an understatement.  Each time she came around the track, in total 35 times, she had the biggest smile.  She even stopped one time to give her sister a hug...and this is not typical of their relationship lately:)

About 3/4 of the way through the event, Railey found Colette.

The Blackland Ridge crew brought their own cheering section.

But about two minutes into the event, baby dolls, cup crushing and ring around the posey became the focus of their attention

Railey finished the race with a smile on her face!

And then, a victory lap with the families.  She was excited to take her little sis around the track.
