Walk to Mapleton

At school, starting in 3rd grade the kids participate in a program called running club. They run laps in the afternoons and over the course of the school year if they run 100 miles they get to walk to the Mapleton City Park! They then play and have games at the park and walk back. Friday was miserable and cold and rainy, but they made the walk anyway and apparently even had fun. The tradition when they come back is the firemen hose them them down with a firehose because it is usually so hot and a great and fun way to cool down after a long hot day. They came despite the chilly weather and hosed those kids down. Nathan stayed mostly out of the water, but Kielle was drenched! And loved it! They both got hot baths and hot chocolate when they got home. Fun days!
