Run, Daddy, Run!

Today Tracy and all the APD cadets in his class participated in a marathon relay. He was lucky enough to be chosen to run the longest leg of the relay - a 12K (7+ miles)! He did incredibly well, finishing in about 68 minutes. Yea, Daddy!

The event was very family friendly, and we stayed for the whole thing. It was unbelievably hot and humid, though. The kids had a great time playing in the bounce house and bounce slide. Pookie wasn't so hip to the slide for some reason, but Beanie couldn't get enough of it! Fortunately, there were large tubs of ice holding water and sports drinks, which we took advantage of. Bitty just wanted to eat the ice. In fact, he also seemed to enjoy plunging his arms into the tubs, and might have just climbed right in if they hadn't been so tall. Thanks to Leslie for the photos, especially the one we like to refer to as "the essence of Pook." Lookin' a little grumpy there!
