Save The Chubby Mermaids 5K

It was a blue-skied, sunny day when we joined the virtual “I Run 4 Movement” community for the #SaveTheChubbyMermaids 5K event. “Chubby mermaids”, more commonly known as manatees, are unfortunately dying at alarming rates. Proceeds from the virtual run go toward protecting manatees and their habitats and securing a better future for generations to come.

Friends and family gathered for delicious donuts and coffee at the Grace’s that fueled our adventure. Along the way, we enjoyed the sunshine, searched for ladybugs, made flower crowns, and even flower-bedazzled Ben’s beard! 

Emily, of course, went above and beyond on following through with her resolution to pet ALL the DOGS—we counted 14! 

The day wouldn’t have been complete without a pizza party back at the Lambert’s to visit and continue the celebration with such wonderful family and friends. What a beautiful day filled with laughter and love!
