Fun Run 2009

Better let than never, here are pictures from this year's Fun Run:

Clay right after running his 1/4 mile.

He ran so hard, he really wanted a medal not just a "lousy ribbon. EVERYONE gets a ribbon." There was a moment of learning that day. Although he did the best he could, he didn't get a medal and it was a little tough for him to swallow.

Miss Rylee (in the blue) running her 1/2 mile

And, right after she finished.

I found out when I picked Clay up at noon, that I should have stayed for the award's ceremony. Because Rylee came home with this:

Rylee with her bronze medal.
(The top 3 boys and top 3 girls of each grade received medals and somehow I didn't get that Rylee was in the top 3. Nice one, Mom!)


Luckily, I had all afternoon to lift Clay's spirits and help him be happy for his sister. He did a great job - they both did.

What a great lesson for Clay...it seems like I have to keep learning that over and over again. They look so cute, Honey.
