This year, we decided to participate in the CROP Hunger Walk that our area church is involved in every year. It is about a mile walk that participants take after raising money for people across our nation and the world who suffer from hunger and also goes to help refugees.
As our children are starting to get older, as parents we are trying to find more and more things that we can do to help people less fortunate than we are and to really get the kids involved. I volunteered for several organizations in college and it really has caused me to have a greater awareness at those who do not enjoy lives as easy as we do. It is our hope that our kids will be able to gain that same awareness, have giving spirits and a desire to help those around them.
Here are the kids right before the walk began.
Here we are after the walk was over. Overall, a great experience for our family!

Congrats on your walk! It looked like a very successful family activity. You all look great. I hope the walk raised lots of money.
