Schoolers Run

This morning we participated in a family hike out of Castle Rock Park.  L loved cheering his Daddy on at his marathon so I thought he'd love participating in a race himself.  There was a half marathon, 5K, and 10K as well.
 
L was pretty excited about wearing his first bib.

It was such a beautiful day for a hike!

E had the easiest job.  He enjoyed being carried.

 Waiting to start!

 L did pretty good walking the first part of the hike but then wanted to be carried.

We veered off course a bit to climb a hill to admire all of the runners and eat a snack.


L enjoyed exploring a bit.

 L walked or ran the last half though.

 M and L take off for the finish line!

Crossing the finish line!
 
At the finish line the boys got medals.

You'd think L would be happier about getting a medal!

 After the hike L still had energy to burn so he ran around the grass with Daddy chasing him.

 We enjoyed a barbecue lunch before heading home.

We all had a blast!  We are going to try and participate in family runs or hikes as often as we can.
