Last Game and AJ's Kids Crane

This morning was Kailani's last game for cheer. The boys actually WON...the only one of the season. They deserved it though, because the other team was just plain mean. Zachary enjoys the games because he's made a little friend throughout the season. The "future Broncos" are the same age (one day apart). Here they are together!I had to leave the game early to pick up our Daisy troop's nuts, but the girls got a medal at the end of the game. Kailani is very proud of her medal. We've got one more week of practice and then competition is on Sunday. There will be one last cheer event on November 19. Kailani will be working with the SDSU cheerleaders all morning and then performing with them at the halftime show of the SDSU-Boise State game in the evening. Jason and I are excited to go see her!
Tonight we headed down to AJ's Kids Crane to donate toys for Rady Children's Hospital. Each year, the radio DJ goes up in a crane and literally doesn't come down until he collects a certain number of toys. This year (same as last), the goal is 100,000 toys. AJ went up in the crane yesterday, and the Mayor of San Diego declared November 4th AJ's Kids Crane Day. It's the tenth year for the event. I think this is our third year going. Zachary was pretty amazed at the whole scene. There were tons of people there standing in line to GIVE toys. We actually waited in line for about an hour to donate our toys. They were giving out Legoland tickets to everyone who donated. Although we have passes, it's always nice to have extra tickets. Zachary wouldn't get in the picture, but here's Kailani with the crane in the back.
