eli ran his first race this weekend. it was the main street mile, but only 1/2 mile for the kiddos. they get to chase an ice cream truck and “win” an ice cream at the end. eli did great, but he did note, “that was fun…i never want to do that again!” i think he meant the event as a whole was fun, the running, not so much. here he is getting a good luck hug from sis.
all set to race!
it may sound strange, but i love when they close down streets and you get to walk in a place usually reserved for cars. i also love living just a few minutes from the beautiful capitol building.
some of the fierce competition…
silly kids
this was the only spot where he almost walked…
but as soon as he heard us cheering he started running at lightening speed...
and at the end ~ the ice cream…it was all worth it, especially for lyla, who didn't even run. good thing for her she has a generous daddy.
