Fun Run

Caleb and Carson participated in the Wildflower Kids Run held last weekend at the Botanical Gardens. The weather was good, the price was right (free!), the scenery great and we just had a blast!!

We weren't planning on Carson participating, but when we checked in and got Caleb all registered, the lady organizing the event told us to go get a shirt for Carson too because there were plenty of extras. They had a 3 and under race and so we figured, why not?!? Carson ran/walked the whole 1/4 mile run and it was sooooo adorable. He came in last place, but I'm pretty sure he got the most attention. :) Everyone around me at the finish line was oooohing and ahhhing and running to grab their cameras to take pictures of the cute 15 month old running the race. He's a little distracted by the bubbles here at the end, but he made it!!

LOVING all the attention and giving his cheesy face to all his fans:



We were so late finishing up Carson's race that we were still at the finish line when they started the 4-6 race for Caleb. So he had an extra leg in his race to try to catch up. He had so much fun though!!! He has asked every day since if we can go to another race. And at least once a day, we have to go outside and he has me time him while he runs or rides his bike to the end of the street and back again.

Here is Caleb being a good listener--listening to instructions for the race:



Getting all stretched out and warming up. SO CUTE!!!

Ready for his prize after reaching the finish line:



A good time had by all. We will definitely look forward to this again next year and will definitely have to check out some other fun runs for kids as well!
