Bienvenue Au Togo!
Today, Sarah, Michelle, Angie, Josh and I cheered on runners at World Run Day. Runners were raising money for United Way.
As the name implies, different nations were represented at each mile marker along the route. Stationed at marker # 3, we represented the country of Togo. We even greeted runners in French as they passed, as French is Togo's official language.
The Gold Star for the day went to Josh. As we stood around waiting, (we were at our station by 10, and weren't set to see runners for quite a while), he mentioned that it would be an ideal time for a picnic.
Crazy people that we are, we decided to go for it. Michelle called Sarah, who had already run to get batteries for the CD player (We had Toganese music too) and had her pick up some hot dogs, chips and cookies, while Josh and I went to pick up his trusty Smokey Joe.
An impromptu picnic on the side of old Birchmont Drive while helping out a great cause. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
