Since July 4th fell on a Sunday this year, our ward organized a 5K/1K fun run on July 3rd. We combined both Ladera Ranch wards and had a great turn out. It was so official, with bibs and everything! But it was early in the morning, and Max and Lily weren't interested. So Paul and I headed over and told Max he could ride his bike over later if he felt like it. Lily was still snoozing away, and with Aunt Julie and Alexa visiting, we just left everyone home. As the race was getting ready to start, Max showed up in jeans and flip-flops and declared he was running the 5K with Dad. Huh? You want to RUN?! Well, OK, but not in flip-flops. We ran home and changed him into some appropriate gear, got him signed up and ready to run. Max wouldn't pose with Dad at the race start, so Dr. Doezie stepped in.
And here are the results of the race! I really didn't mean to sound so surprised . . . .
And can you believe this little guy?! I was so proud of him! I seriously had no idea how Max was going to run 3.4 miles, but he did! And he beat the other guys his age!! Max, you totally rock!
And before Lily missed out on all the fun, I picked her up to join in on the 1K race. Here she is with Madison, whose whole family just got baptized!
First, second and third of the men's 5K.
And some bounce house fun after the races.
It was a great start to the holiday weekend!
