4th of JULY!!

FIRECRACKER 4k

On the 4th of July I participated in my town's first annual Firecracker 4K Run/Walk. I did it with my next door neighbor, Aileen. It was tons of fun! Running outside was definitely harder than running in the gym!! I ran at a 10:18 mile/min pace. It sure was fun though - except for getting my butt kicked by the lady pushing FOUR kids in a three-child stroller (one older-child was standing on the back). I plan to do more races and work up to doing a big one as well as doing better in this one next year!!




A 40 Yard dash, and a Cow


Isaac and Briana ran in the kids' 40 yard dash and got cool ribbons as their prize. Isaac is a super fast runner. Briana was obsessed with the Chick-fil-A cow. (Chick-fil-A sponsors just about everything out here). Briana kept hugging his legs and giving him hi-fives. She cried when it was time to leave him and go home.









Later that nite


We had a nice steak dinner with Aileen from next door, (her hubby was fishing in Canada), and uncle Daniel who surprised us and came up for dinner and fireworks. We had a blast lighting them off in the street. I think we were just about the only ones in our neighborhood that lit fireworks off.
