Emma really wanted to put together a kids' fun run over spring break, and I thought it was a great idea, so we spread the word and started planning.
The big day was yesterday. We had 20 kids in all and everyone was SO excited for the big race. This was really low key and we were just kind of going with the flow but it turned out great. We had the kids run as many laps as they could on a path that circles a baseball field. It ended up being a really hot morning, so halfway around most of the kids were slowing down and wanting water. Some kids ran the whole way....some (Matthew) walked the whole way pouting. Eventually everyone finished. I had bought some plastic gold medals for everybody that we passed out and then we had some snacks. Afterwards several of the kids decided to go for a second go around, while others opted to go play on the playground, dig in the dirt, or make sure all the snacks got eaten. :)
We had such a great time and can't wait to do this again!
These two crack me up. They walked the whole way around holding hands. And just look at Matthew's face...haha!
One of the moms led the kids in stretching/cool down exercises. It was super cute.

This little guy soaking up the sun cracked me up. Such a cutie!

That was so much fun, and it made the boys feel so special! I'm glad we're going to do it again! Next time I will actually contribute something!
