ROAD RACE WEEKEND!

This year Husband and I had BARELY anything to do with the annual road race. I gave up my commitments as the "computer" imputer to be able to really focus and watch my kiddos! After Fridays fiasco of the leg injury I'm really glad that was already the PLAN :)

I love this family. The girl holding her brother up so that he can PHYSICALLY cross the finish line is one of Husband's "big girls" aka track girls. Her brother is handicap and was pushed for the 5K in his wheelchair. For the last of the race his sister got him up out of his chair and we ALL cheered him over the finish line.


Just the sweetest moment and sheer joy on everyone's faces.

Then it was time for the "official" kids race! You know.. .the part where Minnie runs a whole LAP around "Daddy's" track? :) This year her friend C-line was there (GA's niece) and a friend of C-line's. Let the trash talking begin. :)

Just kidding. :)

and their off. Please note Minnie is a slow start. We're gonna work on that in the spring :)

She made up for it... please note she may be behind the "big kids" but if you click the picture to enlarge you will see her YARDS ahead of her age group :)

not.gonna.lie. Her Mama was SCREAMING  her on at this point!! :) so proud she was STILL RUNNING!!!

At the end she had her "big girls" Gabby and Wassina helping her to push through to the...



Lollipop of course :) isn't that why EVERY kid runs? :)

a VERY proud, VERY busy Daddy! :) NEVER too busy for a congrats hug and a job well done! :)
SO proud of my girl!!!
