The Big Race

This is one of the times that I'll admit that Delainey takes after me. She loves to run. And by that I mean that she actually enjoys running. And she happens to be pretty good at it ;) This is the second year in a row that she's been able to participate in "The Big Race" at her elementary school. Every year, the top 2 kids per class or grade (I'm not really sure which) are invited to run in a race at the end of the school year. They run 2 classes at a time, so Kindergarten and 1st grade, 2nd and 3rd grades, and 4th and 5th grades. The whole school comes out to watch them.

This is where taking after her mother comes in...Delainey tied (with her cousin, Simon) for 4th place. She also happened to be the TOP girl finisher in the Kindergarten/1st Grade race! With a 1/2 mile time of 3:45. And the crazy part, like I said before, is that she REALLY enjoys it! She might just be my future cross country runner! It makes me miss my running days a little bit ;)


Way to go Lainey!!!


Waiting for the race to start.


Still waiting...


Announcing her name.
