This past weekend was Oregon City's Relay for Life. After last year's efforts, I was a little worn out, but was SO glad we participated again this year. It was a lot of fun! Here are some of my favorites. (Get ready, eliminating is not my strong point.)
The survivors' lap always chokes me up and makes me thankful for sunglasses to hide the tears. Especially when I saw our friends, Kathy and Mark. 
Avy enjoyed yummy treats.
Avy chose an alternative mode of transportation around the track for her laps.
Our friends, Joe and Autumn, came to cover our first shifts. 
Sawyer was a superb tent supervisor.
Sophie enjoyed a cool treat and . . . 
meeting Cinderella.
The Hoeppners came to walk an afternoon shift. Later, in Home Depot, they actually met Autumn and Joe in the paint line. Small world.
Michael actually got Sawyer out into the sunshine. For a brief moment.
Jordan ventured onto the track for the team.
Bike riding is a team effort.
The Moonwalkers' tent. (Who would have known that would have been a timely name?)
Bounce house time . . .
Then came the water in the heat of the day.
Jenni and Patty got in the creative 80's mode and . . .
and took us right back.
Avy sang during kids' karaoke.
This is Slade's team participation contribution . . .
He ate 6 hot dogs and buns in less than 5 minutes. But believe it or not, he was beaten by 10 seconds. 
Jenny Wayne came in the evening. The girls had a blast Jenny Wayne style.
There were 700 luminary around the track. And there was no wind this year so they burned through the night. 
The following morning everyone took one final lap together . . .
and 'til next year.
