Jog-a-thon Excitement

The small cheerleaders watch from the sidelines! (Dylan, Keira & Sariah)
Today was the long awaited jog-a-thon. The kids (especially Jonah) have been practicing by running laps in the backyard or up and down our street for weeks now. The small kids and I cheered, waved and championed our runners.

Both Jonah and Katie John ran better than last year. Jonah busted out with 24 laps- that's 2 whole miles!! Katie John ran a whopping 17 laps, which is impressive for a 1st grader. We are so proud of our kids!

Jonah and Katie John enjoy a cooling orange freeze after the big event!

IS this a school fund-raiser? Looks like fun. We missed our "walk-a-thon" this year. You've inspired me to try harder to make it next year.
