Girls' Weekend 2009!!

Spending the weekend with girls you have been best friends with since Kindergarten=FUN!! This was our annual girls' weekend! This year we decided that our main activity was going to be the SCOPE 5k run/walk. This is a walk that sponsors colorectal cancer research. Our dear friend Donna died of colorectal cancer 2 years ago and so we thought this event would be perfect for us. Our group was called "Team Donna." We had over 100 people in our group!! There were over 1,300 people in the entire walk. Please ignore my fat face. When I gain weight that is the first place that it goes. I know this is only the beginning and that it is going to get so much worse!The girls, minus Jess. Sorry Jess, I think you were still on your way.

Below: These are the parents, the Martines, and brother of our friend, Donna. Do you see the HUGE smoker in the background?! The Martines provided the best sausages in a bun for all the SCOPE participants. The Martines BBQ-ing has soo many memories for me. Every 4th of July the Martine's would have a big party at their bay house and they would always provide great BBQ for us to enjoy. Also, most high school events Mr. Martine would be there with his smoker selling his BBQ. We loved it!
