Mark, Get Set, Go!

Saturday, the Kiwanas club here in Wilsonville along with other local businesses sponsored a fun run for kids of all ages. The event included breakfast, lunch, games and booths. Each one of our children ran in the race with their age group. There had to be over 500 kids in the various age groups.

Scott ran with Eden and Uncle Steve came into town this weekend and ran with Madison. Tate didn't want or need any help. It was fun to watch them run, especially Tate. He took off like a rocket and then proceeded to hit the every cluster of balloons that marked the path as he was running. It wasn't until the last quarter of his race that we yelled for him to pick up the pace. He did and then started passing kids again like he was in a real race. We have nicknamed him dash from the movie "The Incredibles." They received t-shirts and medals. The other funny thing is that Madison told Steve that she couldn't run any longer. He still encouraged her to finish strong. At the finish line she said she was too tired to move, but after she received her medal she sprinted to the blow up slippery slide 50 yards away.
