Rhody RUN!

Brayden is really into running. Right now he runs races around the house and we always have to say... ON your marks, get set, BANG. He has loved watching track and field at the high school and he was so excited for the Rhody Run. (He didn't really run, just in the parking lot)

Several of my friends ran the race too, this is one of the fun girls who ran it too. Way to go GIRLS!!
This year there were 500 runners, most of which were doing the 5K. Justin and I ran together and pushed the stroller. I tried to push, but Justin never gave me a turn... DARN. We had tons of fun doing it as a family. We were one of the few with a stroller. People told me that they do it all the time. So we trained with the stroller and the kids are used to it. They had so much fun waving to people and saying hi.





Have you ever wondered if Dr. Suess trees really exist? Well we are here to say that they do. This is the tree in our front yard. I think it is one of the ugliest trees I have ever seen. Justin thinks it has great character. The problem is we have TWO trees that look like this, one on each side of the drive way. Should we cut them or keep them?

Camden's Favorite Part of Rhody days... is the flowers. EVERYWHERE there are tons and tons of Rhododendron Flowers. I am not used to this flower, but I love it. Camden is always yelling, FLOWER, and MORE. He points out all the flowers on our daily walks/jogs, and he gets so excited for them.

I've never been a runner until last year, and have really grown to love the world of 5Ks! Glad you had fun doing it...

I miss running with you. I'm going to do a half in August - will you be around? I'm with you on the trees, cut em down! They might add character, but are you really going for THAT kind of character? : ) Also, did you get a new jogging stroller? Where's the Phil and Ted's?
