What a wonderful evening!! Tonight we ran the Kiwanis Run for the Kids Fun Run and it was terrific!! We started out the night with Harper running her first race and she absolutely LOVED it!! All the kids got a race bib (all number 1) then they raced about 100 yards (which seemed a lot longer than previous years that we watched) and at the end they all received a medal!  There was a smile across her face the whole time and she ran the WHOLE thing!!  Pretty good for a little girl who hasn't even turned two yet! :)  Then we quickly plopped her into her stroller and off the whole family ran the 5k.  It was so much fun!!  May not have been our fastest time, but it was definitely the most enjoyable race ever!  It also helped that the weather was absolutely perfect!!  Here are some pictures from our terrific night!

Harper and her cousins showing their strong muscles!! Don't mess with these girls :)

Determination :)

Here comes Harper and Daddy :)

Running!!!

Checking out her awesome post race medal (we have worn in three days in a row as of writing this blog post - she wanted to wear the bib as well but some how we talked her into just the medal)

She had so much fun that she turned around and ran back to the starting line.  She is a runner all the way :)
