Family 5k

Saturday our family participated in a 5k, yes the whole family. We all finished in less than an hour. Dad came in first, from our family in 29 minutes...sorry honey no one was there to take your picture when you came through the finish line.





Cody came in second......with mom right on his heels......



Michael was leisurely walking his last lap in.....

but not before Danielle came racing across the finish line. She ran the most out of all the kids! 
Dad felt bad for Michael so he motivated Michael to run the rest of the way in and came across the finish line with him! 
Although we didn't have a camera following the girls....this was their pace the entire way until....

We had the announcer call their names over the bull horn so then and only then did they start running.....I think they finished dead last for the entire race but I know some heavy duty bonding was going on during that hour walk! 
Mckenna participated by riding in her stroller, running, walking and then dancing around the field with dad waiting for the rest of us to finish. 

In spite of all the horror flashbacks of high school gym class and absolutely hating to participate in anything physical much less running.....I had time to reflect on what a brat I was as a PE student. We did all have a good time and will be looking for more opportunities to do this again as a family.
