Fun Run!

Our elementary school does a Fun Run for their PTA fundraiser. All 3 of our girls participated. We pledge money based on whether or not they meet their goal. Our goal was for Alyssa and Tay to keep going the whole 30 minutes (walking or running). They did it! What a great way for kids to get exercise, understand the importance of exercise (they talk about health and fitness all week long) and help earn money for our school.

Here are some pictures.

When they are done running, they receive a medal and a water bottle. My girls stopped early to get their medals and water bottle, but then kept running. : ) They wanted that water (even if it did end up dumped over Alyssa's head).

At the end of the Fun Run, we bought the girls a snow cone and some popcorn while they waited for all the prizes to be announced. Alyssa won a book on CD - Leven Thumps. : ) She was super excited. Jess and Tay didn't win anything, but they had fun running/walking, eating their snow cone and playing on the swingset. After we went to dinner (LATE dinner) with Hansens and part of the Webecke family. There were 12 of us - 7 kids and 5 adults. We put all the kids at one table (except the youngest) and the adults at the other. They actually did really well at the table together and my girls ate really well too! : ) Maybe that's the key to relatively good behavior at a restaurant - lots of friends!
