I have come to really enjoy running in races....but this one was different for our whole family. My kids are getting use to waking up early on Saturday mornings and going to watch me run in some sort of race, but they didn't know this one would be a life learning experience for them. The race was to help out a family that has conjoined three year old twins. To learn more go
here. These sweet girls were born sharing the same heart...when we got to the race the kids saw pictures of the girls and the questions starting coming. It was nice to be able to stop and take the time to explain to them that just because people are born "different" doesn't make them any less special. It was such a treat to be able to meet this sweet girls.
It was an honor to help this family out...my kids were in heaven when I did a silent auction for a Nintendo Wii and we WON!!!
Coming in for the big finish!
Clayton's sister's Rashel and Kristy ran the 5k race...and kicked butt!!
Cody enjoying the after race festivities!!
They had a petting zoo for the kids...and some how one REALLY big kid got in the gate!
**On a side note..this was a 10k race (6.3 miles) and I ran it in my best time EVER for this distance (56 min 32 seconds)!! I was so excited!
