Today was a fantastically busy day! It started off with the 1st Annual Hornet Hustle at the Kansas Coliseum. This was a fundraiser for my daughter's school in an effort to raise enough money that we can stop having to sell wrapping paper, cookies, candy, etc. They seemed to have a great turnout with over 300 participants so I hope it did the trick. Stephanie G. did a great job pulling it together with the help of so many others. My brother drove 2 hours to join our family for the event which was great. He's a cross country coach so he gave us some really good advice being this was our first run ever. We also were lucky enough to get to hang out with the
Running Lawyer, and we also saw
Oz Runner from just up the street. Good people all around us! Everyone did a great job, and I'm proud of the entire group. We're already looking forward to next year's run where we'll all be in better shape and run farther than this year.
After the Hornet Hustle, we hustled out to the farmer's market to buy some sweet corn for my son's birthday next week, but sadly, the season is over and there was none to be found. But we didn't walk away empty handed. Absolutely not! We left with a large jar of honey, a jar of apple butter, a jar of Elderberry jelly, and a jar of Pepsi jelly made with real Pepsi (bought some Diet Pepsi jelly for Mom & Dad). They had Mountain Dew jelly, Code Red jelly, and other flavors that we'll try another time. Before we left, my daughter and I were watching a magician and he gave her the honor of pulling out a LARGE nail he carefully hammered into it. That's something she won't forget, and he let her keep the nail, but only after I insisted he wipe it down first. We grabbed a quick lunch and hustled home to take an afternoon rest.
We wrapped up the day by hustling over to
Applebee's then hustled to McLean Park for a free movie in the park. They were showing "The Princess and the Frog". The weather was great and you can't beat free, especially when they throw in free popcorn, free lemonade, free
sno-cones, and free
popsicles. What a day! One I'd hustle to do all over
again.
