Just a quick update tonight, we are still in Indiana visting Grandma and Grandpa. We've been pretty busy every day with lots of fun things they had planned for us like feeding the ducks at Lake Michigan, painting benches for the garden, roasting marshmellows, playing Uno Attack, and today we went into Chicago on the train to see the play Wicked-WOW! Both of the girls really enjoyed it, and so did the older girls too.
Tomorrow Hannah is going to an elementary school here to speak about her Cans for Cancer program. I really don't know what to expect, since she is still pretty reserved with strangers, but she says she really wants to do it. She was invited by Anna Reyes (the daughter of a friend of mine from Michigan City). Anna is the president of the student council at her school (WOW) and organized a Hats for Cancer day. The kids at the school will pay $1 and can wear a hat in school for the day. All of the money raised will go to Hannah's Cans for Cancer fund. Isn't that such a cool idea? I didn't even know about it until they heard we were coming to Indiana and asked if Hannah would like to come into the school to talk to the students about her fundraising effort.
Hannah has prepared a speech about her program, how we started it, how it works and what she does with the money raised. Colby will be there too to help and support Hannah. I heard that even the newspaper will be there...so we'll see! I'll update with more information after tomorrow!

WOW Hannah a guest speaker ! This is wonderful news...maybe it will be the first of many speaking engagements. It really helps to hear it from someone who really knows and has experienced it. You'll have so much to tell your classmates at home. Now have a BLAST the rest of the time in Indiana and Illinois and enjoy all the Albano's pizza you can ! Carlson's too !
I want to be the first to say that Hannah and Colby did a FABULOUS job speaking in front of the classes at Pine School. The principal told me how impressed she was with the knowlegde and poise of both girls! Way to go Colby and Hannah and thank you so much for taking time out of your spring break to come and share your knowledge and experiences! You are GREAT!! Now let's see how much money we can raise!
Lots of love,
The Reyes Family
