Run Forrest Run

The kids decided that they wanted to run in the annual 24th of July 5K run. It is about 3.2 miles. They then called grandma and talked her into it. She told them to meet her at the park at 6:40 a.m. to register. I got the boys up to go hoping the Maycee would not awaken but soon after we were up, here she came bouncing in in her shorts with her shoes. So we headed up to register. This is them before the race started. There was 7 kids in the 0-13 age group and and 2 in my moms group. Here they are at the starting line, I wasn't quite sure about it. I was still trying to talk Maycee out of it.
This is what Big George was up to while they were out there running the race. He had to get some pancakes into him.
This Is Austyn after finishing the race. He finished 4th in hisw group. I deleted Landyn but I went home to get Clint and braysyn and when we got back up there Landyn had already came in. He finished First in his group.

This is my mom/grandma coming in. She made er. Wait a minute where is Maycee, oh one of the runners said that she had to stop and smell the sunflowers and try to pick a few.

There's maycee coming in she finally made it. last but not least.

Maycee upset because grandma got the shirt that she had been eyeing over.
Happy because she finally got her prize.
