Well, we did it
! It was about 30 degrees outside and windy. We got up at 5:15 this morning and left around 5:30. We got to Brookings around 6:00 and registered. Maddi and Makenna were the only children there. They had fun though. There were about 90 people in the race, most of them trying to be serious runners. We got video taped by someone before and during the race. Just as we finished it started raining. The girls ran about half the time. We finished in 44 minutes and 11 seconds. Not bad for a 6 and 7 year old. We weren't even in last place! When we finished we got milk, muffins and fruit nad then we got to pick out a tree. We all got a Japanese lilac tree. By the time we got home the rain had turned to freezing rain and the car was iced over. The girls took their tree to school and showed their class mates. They are quite proud of their accomplishment. I am proud of them too. Now we will wait until the 4th of July to do our next one. Hopefully it will be warmer for that one!

Way to go. Tell the girls I think that is really a "big deal" that they could make it all the way. I hope their plants grow, but by looking at the next post, maybe they should wait a while.
Love you all and am proud. Munu
