Maile’s First “Race” (er, Fun Run!)

by Papa K on March 24, 2013

On Sunday, we headed over to Oakland with some of Maile’s classmates for the Oakland Fun Run. Christine and I definitely questioned why we were heading all the way to Oakland for a 150 yard run, but we had a blast – it was definitely worth the trip! Maile Girl and her friends loved the whole thing – the numbers they got, the stretching, the race itself, the snacks afterwards (2 bananas and a bag of Cheetos to help Maile recover) and, of course, the medals.

Daddy, I'm going to need you to carry me to the start line, I really need to save my legs.

Mommy did a fantastic job running ahead (and often backwards) to catch some action shots of Maile Girl - keep in mind this race was only 150 yards, so not much room to work...
