We Made It

Every year at Boulevard Home Furnishings they encourage their employees to get healthy. They start in January with a fitness challenge. Each year Dave competes and for at least 5 months tries to be healthy. This year his team is in first place. The final event of the challenge was a 5k & 1.5k Run, Walk, or Crawl Event. We decided that as a family we could do the 1.5k and we would all walk. As you can see by the looks on Rylee & Reganne's faces they were not excited to be there. They were more excited about their new water bottles. I pulled up their hair so they wouldn't have it in their eyes and they hated it. There were 100 people competing and the money they raised went to Special Olympics. Then the horn sounded and we were off....
Here we are with our friends & neighbors the DeMacedos
Dave & Rylee took off and that left Reganne, Ryder, and I all going a much slower pace. Reganne surprised me she ran the whole way. She had to stop a couple of time to rest and wanted to be held, but she kept going. Her time was 19.25 minutes and she was the youngest person to finish. I was really proud of her. She then found the snack table and she was in heaven. It was full of fruit and bottled water. Which she loves.
This is was the finish line and the score board. We all finished!!!

Here are a few extra pictures of the kids being outside enjoying the warmth without the wind.

Way to go Reganne! I'm amazed at how fast those little ones can go (when they want to).
