Oh my goodness! What a week! It's hard to believe it hasn't even been a week since our invite! Since then we've we've traveled to Fond du Lac, built a Homecoming float, decorated the cafeteria windows, put together our GAIN breast cancer basket, sorted thousands of dollars worth of olive oil, and swam a big bunch of yards. It's been crazy-fun! Tonight we will march together in the Homecoming parade, and tomorrow morning we will swim some more yards. We're definitely in the busy part of the season! It goes without saying that for everything we do, there are plenty of people behind the scenes who are helping us get it done. It's time to recognize those people!
Last Friday night we gathered at the Coons's house for a completely fabulous Pasta Party hosted by Lindsey and Kiki. There was delicious pasta and sauces and meatballs and a decorated driveway:
It was so much fun!
On Sunday and Wednesday, the Valences let us all pile in their yard to build our Homecoming float. Thank you, Valences, for once again letting us use your gorgeous property to spread out on to create and for driving our float down the parade route. I will be sure to post some pictures of the float after the parade!
Last Tuesday night (it seems like eons ago!) we swam against Appleton West. Beforehand, we gathered and ate all kinds of yummy sub sandwiches. Thank you, John Larson, for coordinating our dinner, and Judy Salm, Kim Dehn, Lisa Spanbauer, and Diane Hollub for being on the committee and helping to serve. It was great!
This week we had another pasta feast before our Fond du Lac meet. Thanks to Cindy Cunningham and her committee, Lori Kroeger, Diana Miller, Jayne Latreille, and Sarah Larsen, for serving us such a fantastic meal. Everyone loved it!
Finally, we like to thank everyone who helped us run such a fantastic Invite last Saturday. The Invite is a huge undertaking, and it can not be run without all of our parent volunteers. Special thanks to Karen Marquardt who ran around all day making sure our concessions stand ran smoothly. Thank you, Karen, we know that is not an easy job! Thank you, also, to our concessions workers and timers and to Karen Martis, who did all of our awards. It was all-hands-on-deck at the Invite! We appreciate each and every one of you!
Hooray for all of our awesome parent volunteers!
