Last Thursday, Laurel and Erika had a fun run fundraiser at their school. It was our third year attending and the kids are so lucky that the weather always cooperates for them! Laurel ran in the morning and had perfectly cool, sunny running weather. Erika ran in the afternoon and the sun was a bit hotter, but it was still a good temperature. Laurel and her kindergarten class ran "laps" along a straight stretch of pavement in the baseball field area while Erika ran actual laps (0.5 miles) around the baseball complex. They both had a great time! Grandma Parnell, Levi and I came and watched them run and got to cheer for them. I ran a couple laps with Laurel and one with Erika. They both did great!
Laurel ready to start with the rest of her class.
Getting her "mark"....they got a mark for every lap they ran and the top two lap runners in the class get a prize. Laurel ran 13 laps and two other kids in her class ran 14. So she did quite well!
Post race happy face!
Laurel let Levi run a couple of laps with her. As you can tell, they are both very happy about it!
Laurel made sure Levi obeyed the rule of running around the red cone.

Erika had lofty ambitions of running 8 laps. She ran 5 and did very well! Hardly walked for any of the laps.
I got to run one with her!
