Race Day-Kids Run



We love our neighborhood.  Everyone is friendly, we feel safe and they even plan fun events to do as a community.  They recently held a Kid's 1K Race for all the little ones in the area.  It was hilarious to watch a bunch of little people take off with a running jolt as the whistle blew and then crash into each other as they tried to get their footing right. I should have filmed the event but you get the idea.  There were a few collisions as they cruised the path, but they all made it to the finish line.  Both girls completed the race and felt so cool when they were given a medal at the end. The kids all felt like celebrities with neighbors and family cheering them on at the finish line.  I hope they do this event every year, we loved it.  One of the most entertaining factors was the fact Kate insisted that she have her Sunday shoes on for the race.  I tried to convince her otherwise, but there was no changing her mind. (This princess business is serious stuff. Ha!) They made it through their first 1K with only a bruise and a few blisters. ;) Such a great day.
