Life as a Leach

June 16th was our local Relay for Life, and our church's team got together once again to raise money and celebrate LIFE! A very sweaty, dirty Abby We have "The hoola hooping lady" on our team, who demonstrates hoola hooping for exercise and sells exercise hoops for Relay.  She's quite a novelty!  Anna is trying out a hoop. My dad and Al, both cancer survivors The Murphys, also cancer survivors and awesome fundraisers! Caleb with his Aunt Rosemary My cute parents :)  My dad is a kidney cancer survivor.

If you've never done Relay before, you definitely need to.  It is a huge celebration of life, and a ton of fun...even in the rain and thunderstorms! Weren't these clouds cool?!  A big storm sent us to our cars right after this, but then we had a double rainbow!  (Too bad my camera was in the car for that, but I didn't want to take chances of it getting rained on!) My dad is a 9 (I think) year kidney cancer survivor.  Yay Dad! This is the wonderful Phelps family, with Jacob riding on his daddy's shoulders.  Jacob has been in remission about a year and a half (and was recently decannulated!!) Seriously, I look forward to Relay every year.  It is one of the most fun, gratifying, beautiful events our county does.  :)
