Ready to race

One of the other things that the boys were looking forward to again this year was doing the little fun run. It is nice because they run it a few different time during the event so there are not too many kids and your time is a little more flexible.

 We were able to one that ran in the early afternoon. Sup was really excited this year because he was old enough to do it this year. This year Eric and switch places where he was the pep talker and I was at the end of the finish line. This worked out better for all parties :)

 Since Sup was in the 3 to 4 group he was probably one of the youngest and one of the smallest. Although being the smallest is probably something to get use to ;) Despite this, he is a pretty fast runner, and that is not just Mommy's opinion. He would have gotten a trophy for 3rd place but the kid in front of him stopped and so he stopped and he couldn't cross the finish line. Which was better then him pushing the girl to get out of his way.  

 Thomas was actually willing to participate this year. Last year he was excited to do and then when it was time to run it he didn't want to try it. At this point we were at the line so I had to run with him some what running and pushing him along. After explaining and have him watch us he realizes he doesn't have to win and has a lot of fun with them. 

We decided that Sup not getting a trophy was a good thing because they both got medals and Sup wasn't gloating that he got a trophy and Thomas didn't... yes Sup would have done this, anything to pester Thomas he gets a thrill out of ;) This way both where happy with their medals :)
