Oh, What Fun!

July 28th was the annual Wilsonville Kiwanis "Kids Fun Run".  It was a beautiful, hot day.

Here are the kids getting ready for the race.  It was at Wilsonville High School.

Here is what daddy and Andon did while waiting for the races:).

Kylene got to run 1.5 laps.  She was nervous she wouldn't know anyone, but quickly found two friends with whom to wait and do her warm-up stretches.  But once the race start, she took off on her own and did a super job.  It was so fun to watch her long, blonde hair waving behind her in the wind!

Spencer did one lap.  He was very nervous and refused to participate when it was his turn to go down on the field.  Lucky mommy ended up getting to run with him at the last minute.  For the picture of him running, I ran ahead and told him to slow down so I could snap the picture:).  He ended up loving it (of course!) and was so proud of his medal at the end.

Skyler was our last runner--he did a speedy 100 yards.  It was darling to watch the 3 and under group--the youngest to run--"race" down the track.  Daddy ran with him.  I love the bottom, right picture of him running from behind.  He was timid about it, but definitely wanted to do it after watching so many other runners before him. 

 

There were booths and free give-aways all over.  The kids got so many little toys, popsicles, a free lunch, free breadsticks, water bottles, medals, etc.  You get the idea.   I can't believe what this town can pull together for the kids.  I love that it gets so many people out, engaged, and active.  It is definitely a community event.  It was fun to be a part of it.
