... today was such an AMAZING day! Two weeks ago, Anna decided that she wanted to complete her first race. After the past few years of getting up at 4:30AM to go to my races... and waiting around for hours until I started/finished... today was OUR day to cheer on our little bug.
I'm going to let the photos tell the story, but I can add that the "water works" started the moment she lined up at the start and didn't stop until well after she finished. Mama Bear is sooooo proud tonight! Even more so that our God daugher, Catalina, wanted to do this race with Anna! Five months apart in age... but connected by the heart! :-)

Photos before the race... the girls were
SOOOOOOO nervous! |
 |
| Really... our "Anna... Banana!" |
 |
This was the best Race Street Fair that we have seen...
so much fun stuff to see and do! |
 |
| Just before the start... (go, girls, GO!) |
 |
| Our sweet bug... always with the tounge out... :-) |
 |
We saw the girls coming around the bend at the top of the hill. They were
walking together, but as soon as they saw the finish, they started to run...
and then Anna saw a boy next to her... |
 |
| ... and she picked it up (GO, Anna, GO!) |
 |
| ... and our bug FINISHED STRONG! Wooo HOOOO! |
 |
| The girls finishing... :-) |
 |
| ... getting their medals... |
 |
... Anna leading Cat through the finish... bananas... oranges... water...
electrolite drinks... the kids got the royal treatment! |
 |
| And... they are FINALLY smiling! |
 |
| In the final race chute... |
 |
| I couldn't be more proud... |
 |
| ... and same with Jeff. Our girls ROCKED!!! |
Like I said... it was a FANTASTIC day. These kids inspired me so much... race season has started... here we go!
