Saturday Oldest and Littlest participated in a kid race. They were both very excited. Oldest met a new friend, a little girl with a scooter. They rode their scooters before the race even started. They needed to rest for a few minutes before the start.
The race started Oldest was off, faster than me. I had to run to keep up with him. He rode his scooter about 1/3 of a mile and decided he was done with it and wanted to run. We handed it off to Littlest who was with my husband and Oldest and I started running. He ran the whole rest of the race. On through the finish line , through the "Spray Zone" and on to the watermelon and cookies. I was impressed at how fast he finished.
We waited for Littlest, who also ran across the finish line. Both got finisher ribbons and got to stand on the winners podium. It was a morning of fun. We will definitely do this again.
Oldest won a raffle and got a certificate for $20 off a new pair of running shoes from Salt Lake Running Company. We headed there to get his new shoes. They have blue stripes, laces, are a little big but not too much, and are very fast :)
Littlest loved the scooter so we got him one of his own. Now he is set to race another day.
~Race on
