To top off all of our 4th of July festivities, we all ran the Freedom Run Monday morning. Yes, I'm a nerd, I signed Anna up for the 1 mile fun run. She looked so cute with her little bib on.
She even got to wear a timing chip on her shoe. I feel bad I didn't take a picture of it. If you look really close in the picture you can see it.
Anna and I ran the 1 mile race, Devin and Peter ran the 5k. I was so proud of Peter for running the race!
Anna did pretty good. I think all of the people made her nervous. We had a good time walking the mile while the boys ran. It was fun walking the last stretch with her. So many people were commenting on how cute she is and were cheering her on.
We had a great time! We all got finisher medals. Anna got 5th place in her age division. And I must add the fact that she was the first 1-year-old to cross the finish line. Her age division was 1-3. The 4 kids that came in before her were all 3-years-old. We didn't cheat either, no stroller for this girl!
Anna's favorite part was watching the balloons. I'm not one for getting up early just to watch the balloons. I like running a race AND watching balloons at the same time. Anna loved the Smokey the Bear balloon. She would reach up as high as she could trying to touch him. She finally figured out that she would never be able to touch him and would say over and over, "Reach! Too far away!"
It was the perfect ending to our 4th of July festivities. Believe me, we'll all be running again next year.
