What a fun day. All of the kids participated in the Great Bear Run. While we were waiting for our race times, we went inside to watch a very funny magician perform. To my surprise, Emily was suddenly standing next to the magician because she had volunteered to be his assistant. She did fantastic. She answered all of his questions and was able to assist in his tricks.
Then we were off to the races. First, mommy ran with Emily and Garrett in the stroller for the family one mile fun run. Well, we started at the wrong starting line but still managed to put in a pretty good time.
We headed directly to the field for Emily's race and she was totally focused. Dressed in her pretty dress and new croc shoes, Emily took off like a shot right for Daddy on the finish line. I am pretty sure she won by a landslide. Go Ems!
Then it was Garrett's turn for the 100m race. Garrett took off like a bullet and flew down the road. We are so proud of Garrett who was a little uncertain about wanting to run.
I am standing on the finish line of the race taking this picture and Garrett was so disappointed that another young boy just edged him out for the win. I love your competitiveness Garrett and you finished second amongst all the five year old boys. Go G!
Connor was up next and he didn't disappoint. Connor had to race the 400m and as he passed us near the start he had a full conversation with us about where everyone was. Connor held up strong and pushed through the finish. Awesome job!
It was off to the races and I declare all the kids were big winners. They tried so hard and really did so well.
