Each year Colegio Maya has a Fun Run for the whole family. The school is K-12 (about 340 kids). Last year we all participated and had a great time. Brice was in the lead for his age group the whole time but stopped to get a drink of Gatorade and came in second. Kierstin, like always just wanted to have fun and told me she skipped (as in -to-my-Lou) the majority of the 3K race. She came in third without even trying. This year, the kids were bound and determined to get another trophy, especially the always competitive Brinley.
Brice and Kierstin-set loose to run as fast or as slow as they wanted. Even though Brice was one of the youngest in his age group, he placed third.
Blaine ran with Brinley. She started the race in tears because so many people came out of the starting block before her but quickly recovered. She had to slow down a few times to let Daddy catch up to her and would not let anyone pass her. She came in right after the 1st place male winner in her age group but strangely did not win. She was upset all day long because she did not have a trophy to bring home. Brice said she could have his but it just wasn't the same.
Luke started off in the stroller with me but quickly realized he wanted out and ran the majority of the race.
Monday at school, Brinley was presented with a package. It contained a nice note, a lot of candy and her trophy! Apparently they timed the kids in strollers on accident and not those who actually ran. She was so pleased she earned a trophy.

How fun! Isaac actually was in the school district fun run yesterday. It has been fun to read all of your posts and catch up on what you've been up to!
We did the jog-a-thon at our school today too. AJ has been talking about it all week. The most laps in each class got a prize--in nearly half the classes it was 22 (AJ's magic number), but the top in his class was a girl with 23. Still, we didn't really tell him there were medals so he didn't mind much. We'll see how the day ends up, though--first place girl seemed pretty anxious to wave her medal in everyone's face.
