race day!

Saturday morning, we ventured out for our race day! First up was

the "balloon race", which was a blast for those that

are preschool-age and under. So Annika and Morgan ran

the short little run across a field to win a paper medal and a balloon!

Here, Annika and two of her one year old buddies line up at the starting line!

Are they cute or what?? A balloon at the finish line was just the incentive Annie needed to get

to the end! She LOVES balloons!

Here is our proud finisher! Next year, she has her sights set on the mile run!


I don't think, and now know that our boys had no idea what they were getting into with this race! They've NEVER run a full mile, but this mama is SO proud of them for running this first "real" race of theirs! This race was 1.2 miles and the boys loved it!

Here's Gavin crossing the finish line! I got tears in my eyes as they crossed the finish line. I was just so proud of them!

Drew making the finish line!

The boys: Drew, Gavin, Parker, and Lane showing off their medals!

What a fun morning!!! Plus, we went out for donuts after...

Thanks, Pam K. if you're reading this... for all the great action shots!!!
