Tie-Dye 5K

This morning Kelly, John Parker and Carson ran the Tie Dye Invitational 5K Cross Country Run. The race was hosted by our newly opened children's museum, Health Works. This was John Parker and Carson's first 5K, and I was very nervous and excited for them! They did great, and I am so proud of them! Way to go boys!

Clay ran with them and coached and encouraged them to the finish!!!!!

Silly girls!

Carson almost there, too!


First 5K complete!

I am loving Avery's sweet little blonde curls!

Julie was crowned the Tie-Dye Queen!



Today turned out so much better than I had expected! I enjoyed being a spectator for a change, taking pictures, visiting with friends and meeting new ones, too!
Our family is really enjoying this new hobby of running together! A big thanks to the Johnsons for being such an encouragement to us!
