Early morning check-in for the Mission Walk.

Making sure everything is ready for the walk.

Smiling faces getting ready to walk for missions.

 Four times around the track with a walker.
that is the "can-do" LWML Spirit. 
What an inspiration!!!

Need a little "pick-me-up" early in the morning!!

As usual the South Dakota hosts were ready with
everything we needed.

And, they are stepping it off for missions!!

Taking a break with a smile.

 Just a sea of blue.

 Sometimes you need a little help from a friend.

 And the winner is..just kidding!!

Around and around they go!!

So many smiles so early in the morning. 

Now, how many miles was that?
