Running in the Sun!

Jason had his Fun Run at school last week and it was right during Preschool. I decided to take all the girls with me to watch him run. This is Avery on the left and Anika on the right. Of course, Aubrey is in the middle and really loving having friends with her. This combination of girls is a good one. They all got along great and had no squabbles.

All the kids started out strong! (Jason's in the red shorts) He took off and ran and ran and ran!

Toward the end of the run, kids had slowed down to walk. Only a few kept going. Go Big J!

Jason got a frisbee for participating in this fundraiser. Thank you for supporting him. He had a good time and is talking about doing it again next year.

Two days after this race, he had to run a mile for P.E. He was so excited because he was 2nd fastest in his class to run the mile. He said, "Mom, when I started I was behind. Then everyone started to slow down and walk and I started to pass them. I caught up with Kevin (the leader) and we were neck and neck. He slowed down and I kept running fast and got 2nd." A girl named Amy passed both boys to be first. (That reminds me of another Amy I know!) He was super proud of himself and we are too!

If you need a change of pace or a warm up come on out to North Carolina. We averaged about 88 degrees this past week. Saturday after playing soccer and melting in the heat we had to break out the little pool and take a dip. The water is right from our well and very cold but the kids managed to get use to it quickly. It was refreshing and reminded us that the hot summer is on it's way!
