Mommy, I want to run a race

is what Addison said to me when I finished the tri in June so knowing we were going to be gone for the Bix, I found a race for Addison and Carter to run in.  They ran the Moonlight Chase on Sat, night.  It is an evening race which is kinda cool.  The race started at 7:30 and was a 1/4 mile for kids 6 and under.  I was a little worried that Addison wouldn't be able to make the 1/4 mile but after form tackling a kid who had stopped in the middle of the street (Addison didn't mean to run over him, she was looking for my mom at the time and wasn't looking forward) we finished in a little less than four minutes.  We did stop to help the little guy up.  I didn't find a parent though so hopefully he continued to run.  The race was fun but a little crowded.  It would be nice if they separated the age groups a little, maybe like 3-4 years olds and 5-6 year olds.  There is a big difference between a three year old and a six year old.  Here are some pics of our race!

Happy 4th!

The 4th of July has come and gone.  Summer is going by way too fast!  We went out the pool super early to beat the 4th of July crowds and it was totally the way to go. The kids got to swim before it was too busy plus they got to do the activities they wanted to do when those started at 11.  Chloe and Serenity came up to help us celebrate.  The kids played inside because it was too hot to be outside.  We took the kids to the fireworks.  Gus' first experience, he was less than impressed!  This is what we saw when we got back the car after the fireworks.

I guess it was a successful day!
