Last Sunday, we all got up early to do the Toys for Tots run over at the levee. Dylan ran last year, too.
Luckily, for us, the rain decided to stay away that morning!
We were so proud of Dylan! This was really the longest run he’s done … I mean, he ran the whole thing! In fact, he was the only kid who did not stop at all! He wasn’t the first to come in, but he picked his pace (as Tom put it) and stuck with it. This year, Taliana ran, too (and the other little fella in the picture happens to be the son of a friend of two different friends (now how odd is that??)! Jasper was one of the top three finishers (I think!)!!
Afterwards (after Cameron and I returned from the 5K — I ran with her in the stroller), yep, we went to our house and the big kids did spin art with their new Chanukah art spinners while we adults enjoyed two games of Agricola (very fun game!).
In between games, the kids got a little restless, so we headed outside for a little fresh air and stretching. Cameron seized an opportunity to don a big kids’ helmet when Dylan and Taliana made their way up the path.
Heather, Assaf and I took the kids on a little stroll on the path behind our house. Dylan and Taliana posed on this tree stump…
Cameron, who is quite the intrepid explorer, spent a lot of time collecting rocks and pods of some sort! She even requested that I put them in my pocket…! Look at that fist-full she has!
For a day where we had nothing planned, it was pretty busy (but enjoyably so!), so busy that Cameron never made it out of her jammies!!!
