Last night we went on a fun run put on by the local running store. Jaremy had already run in the morning, so he took care of the little ones and drove the support vehicle. It was a great family activity. We had tons of fun. The course was 4.8 miles, but you could run or walk as much or little as you wanted. After you finished your jog they had ice cream sundaes waiting at the store. Great small business idea! Great family fun!
Our family started a bit later than everyone because of Tank(2). But Benjamin(12) and Moroni(10) quickly caught up with the pack. In fact, Moroni came in first out of everyone! Benjamin would have been right with him, but his dinner made him have a pit stop at the park. He was close to Moroni though. Natalie(8) ran up ahead with the boys for awhile then slowed down. She ended up without a jogging partner, but finished the whole race anyway! Hyrum(6) and Ella (5)ran 2 miles. Then they ran another mile with the stragglers at the end. Jessica (14) ran with the store managers little son (6). His dad was back at the store, so he needed someone to help him run. She was so sweet with him and kept him going the entire way. Jessica is so thoughtful and kind. I wogged (half waddle, half jog) the whole way, expect for about 50 steps when my knee hurt. I've never jogged that far in my life. Not bad for being 5 months pregnant. Tank(2) ended up running 3/4 of a mile. Jaremy kept tabs on us and cheered us on. The kids got ice cream at the store. It was tons of fun!!! Tons better than watching a movie. We bonded as a family and with the community.
Heavenly Father has blessed us so much!! in everyway!! I'm so grateful He lets us have fun meeting challenges and being together as a family!
