Kids Mile By Mile Marathan

Today Jackson and Ashlynn participated in a 1.2 mile race at the Safe Kids Summer Health Fair. We did not realize that Ashlynn could participate til we got there. So, we registered her at the last minute. There was one little problem...she was wearing flip-flops and she would not be able to go the entire distance with out getting tired. This meant...Daddy to the rescue! Daddy ended up going the mile with Ashlynn even though he too was wearing flip-flops. Jackson ran a good race. He got tired the last little bit, but Mommy met up with him and jogged the last little stretch. Ashlynn arrived at the finish line on Daddy's shoulders. The kids loved their medals and t-shirts that they got. They also had a blast running around the Health Fair for a couple hours with some friends. We came home with new booster seats for Daddy's car and new bicycle helmets...we are ready for a safe summer!
