Friday night was Relay for Life, it is a celebration of surviving cancer and remembering those who did not win the fight. Here the kids and Tim are taking a little rest.
The kids bought some glow in the dark necklaces from Sletten to show there support.
We are such angels, walking for cancer. See our HALOS!
We got one of Tim's chemo nurses to take a family picture for us.
We started our evening at 7PM and walked until 10PM.
There were different booths set up to buy food, shirts and miscellaneous items with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
The kids ate their fair share of snow cones and cupcakes.
We saw lots of friends and listened to some good live music.
At dusk, they light the luminaries that are lined all around the inside of the walking track.
The kids made these ones for Grandma and Grandpa Hueth and one for their Daddy.
At 10PM they had a ceremony of remembrance. They announced all of the names on the luminaries. It was very touching. Riley started to cry at the beginning of the ceremony when they played a Sarah McLaughlin song "Angels". We stayed until Tim's name was read, it was 10:30 by then and little Aiden was ready for bed at 9:00.
