Charity 5k

My sweet mother-in-law signed up our family for a 5k. The company that she works for wanted to sponsor any employees and/or family members that wanted to run. I was a little skeptical to sign up the kids, but they did good. Tanner wants to do another race, the other boys not so much!

Clint 22:17

Brent 22:23

Tanner 32:21

No picture of him :(

Shari 49:07

I started the race with the kids. We ran all of 100 feet and then the complaining started. "How much farther?" "I'm thirsty." "Can we walk?" "Can you hold me?" Needless to say we walked (barely faster than a crawl) the race, BUT they made it:) Clint finished the race and then ran back and walked the last mile with us. I finally left them and ran the last hill:) WOW! So much for a run today:)

Carter and my niece Kennedie 54:00

Cute Tanner finished the race and waited for Troy, Carter and Kennedie to get close to the finish line so he could cross the line again with them. What a sweet boy!

Troy 54:15

My little trooper pulling up the rear

When we got done with the race, Carter asked if he could do it again next year. I was shocked. Did he really not remember how much he disliked it?!? He then went on to say that he really wanted to do it again but next time he was going to ride his bike:) lol

After the race, they had lots of fun activities for the kids to do. They had rock walls to climb, BB Gun Shooting range, Army Tanks and Helicopters on display and lots of free food and drinks. The kids loved that part of the race!

Thanks
