We went to the annual 5K and Kids race at m work a few weeks ago. Last year Jr. Princess won the 4 and under race, and was super upset that she had to run with the 5-8 year olds this year and probably wouldn't win. It took a while to explain to her that this event wasn't about winning. If running was about winning, than Mom would never run :). So, we set her goal at trying to beat some older looking kids.
If you look closely, here they are lined up at the start line. The tall girl (bent over) between them kept trying to budge in front of them.
But here's Jr. Princess streaking past the (much older) budger...
And Starshine finished as the 2nd fastest girl. Who knew we had such fast genes in the family. They certainly aren't coming from me!
Here we are relaxing after all the hard work.
After all the super jumping, free snacks, healthy races, and good times, Jr. Princess found her true favorite part of the event. As we were leaving, a colleague of mine was cleaning up the food table. "Hey Pink Mom, do you guys want a case of Gogurt?" Yes we do! She carried this whole case to the car with an enormous smile on her face. Ah, the simple joys in life :)
