The boys' school had a fundraiser this year called "Race for Education". The school collected donations for the kids running for one hour. It was a VERY successful fundraiser and friday was RACE DAY! The kids did fantastic, all the kids! The loop they had to run had 2 hills in it and was between 1/4 mile and 1/3 mile. Nate ran 19 laps and Aidan ran 20. Yes, that was an issue :) Brad took the day off to be there to cheer them on and so did Mom mom, Mimi, Poppie and Aunt Denise. We made posters for them for keep them motivated. I got to be a spectator for Nate's race time and I volunteered during Aidan's. The kids wore cards with rubber bands around their wrists and as they completed a lap they got a hole punched on their card. Race Man (a favorite teacher at school) was their to run with all the kids. His ensemble was completed with a smashing blue cape! We couldn't have asked for better weather and the whole day was great. The kids had a blast and slept really well that night :)
Here's Nate running his first lap. Look how happy!
Getting a little tired...
And we're walking... (He started to run again after this. He did great!)

Aidan's first lap. This is the one and only picture of Aidan running. Can you see him? He is in the red shorts and light blue hat. Remember, I was volunteering and Brad had the camera!

What a great idea for a fundraiser! It sounds like everyone had a fun time.
It was really cute watching the kids run...although I was more than worried one of them was going to hurl!
