Tige was planning to run the "Tuacahn Duathon" this weekend (run, bike, run), but he's had a cold all week and has been feeling lousy, so he had to sit this one out. However, we still went and Kason did the kid's race. It was his first race and was around the perimeter of the Tuacahn parking lot (about 0.4 miles). He did great. I wasn't really counting, but he took about 5th place, and the boys that finished in front of him were at least 10 years old. He ran the whole way and when he finished said "my heart was killing me."
Showing off his very own medal.
After the race, we stopped at Marv's for lunch. Abby enjoyed her ice cream cone more than words can say. She was covered in ice cream by the time we were done.
This afternoon we went to fed the ducks by one of the golf courses in town. Kason just loved it and said "this is the best afternoon ever!" Abby, on the other hand, wanted to eat the bread herself and wasn't happy we kept throwing it to the ducks. She also REALLY wanted to take a swim in the pond, and it was all we could do to keep a hold on her.
Our outing with the ducks reminded us of our home in VA Beach when Kason was little--we had a huge pond near our house where we used to go for walks. We'd feed the ducks & play at the park. Now my boy is all grown up and can't even remember Virginia Beach. In some ways it seems like a life time ago. But it was a fun reminder of the things we did when Kason was Abby's age.

What a nice family picture! Go Kason! Someday we'll have no-jacket weather.
Sounds like a fun family day. I notice you girls are In short sleves. That is just not fair!
Well I think it is SO AWESOME that Kason ran his first race!! Go KASON! And I remember VA, not your ducks, but I am glad you guys came there fist or else we never would have met you!!! How weird would that be!!
Keep up the good work. The pictures actually did look like fun. Maybe I will give running a try again. I do have a treadmill in front of a tv upstairs.... it's a start :)
