The morning of the Fun Run it was 48 degrees with a windchill in the 30's. I (wrongly) assumed the run would be inside. Here is Addie's class, with Emma leading the way!
Addie only had her track suit jacket to keep her warm. Each time the kids completed a lap, a volunteer marked a lap on the back of his or her shirt. Which meant the kids had to wear their jackets backward to keep their shirt backs visible!
The boys and I came to support our favorite first grader! Doak only lasted a few minutes before he went to sit in the car with his best buddy Harrison and H's grandpa.
Addie was so afraid that she was going to fall in the mud. I totally understood her fears, and after a pep talk from Mommy she started walking laps, while wearing a sad look on her face.
Towards the end of the 30 minute run she perked up and even started running. After the run was complete she was happy!
Addie completed 28 laps (goal was 30) and I think Haley did the maximum of 35.
As usual, Brock was a happy little boy and enjoyed cheering for his sister. It was so COLD, and he didn't understand why he couldn't crawl around on the muddy ground. After we kissed Addie goodbye, got Doak, and drove home we enjoyed a lazy morning with hot chocolate and soup to warm us up after a cool morning!
