2014 Youth Missions Egg-Stravaganza

This past Saturday, our church hosted its second annual 5K/Fun Run Egg-Stravaganza to raise money for youth short term missions.  The Hubs and I are in charge of this, and while it is a bit stressful putting together an event like this, we enjoy it.  And it always feels good to raise money for furthering the gospel of Christ and investing in the youth of our church that we love so much!

The one mile Fun Run started at 8:30, and the 5K started at 9:00.  We didn't have many runners, but we didn't advertise it like we should have.  I have big plans for next year, but I digress . . .

One of our church members owns a small business renting out those fabulous inflatable slides and jumping castles that are all the rage with the kiddos these days.  Last year and this year, he graciously donated them for the day, and the kids love them.

We ended the morning with egg hunts for kids nursery age to 12.  We had tons and tons of candy-filled eggs and my kids each got a basket full!

 Pop and JuJu being silly!

Overall, the event was a success, and the kids had a wonderful morning playing and hunting eggs!  And my brain is already brainstorming for next year!!
