Fun Run Stampede

Though this happened way back in May, I wanted to include it in my blog catch-up.
At Nathan's school, they put on a 5K Stampede.  We had just taken Sarah to a clogging performance, and got home just in time to get to the school for the race.  We had to hoof it pretty fast to get to the school in time, leaving Nathan with a side ache- before the race even began.  We had barely caught our breath, when they started the race.  Nathan's side ache came back, and he fought it the whole race. Nathan's friend Spencer ran with us. At the end Nathan was struggling, but Spencer wouldn't go ahead. He said, "a good scout never leaves his friends behind." It was very cute.  Matthew and Abby had a great time riding in the stroller, cheering on the boys.  It was really fun, and a totally different experience than the 5K at his old school.  This Stampede was a lot smaller, and lower-key. We had people riding on 4 wheelers up and down the road, checking up on the runners.

 Spencer and Nathan are waiting for their names to be called for a prize in the drawing. Spencer's big brother won the whole race, and got a really cool prize. Fun times!
