Race Day

This is Gracee's 3rd year doing the fun run and Emme's 2nd. They had a really fun time this year.
Emme did the toddler trot and was a little slow starting... She watched everyone take off and then began to run.
Gracee and Olivia were at the finish line... I thought it was cute that Gracee was cheering her on. When Emme reached the finish line she gave Gracee a big hug.
This was Gracee's first year to run the mile. I ran it with her holding her hand the majority of the race. I was impressed that she ran most of the mile. Only three or four times did we walk and as soon as someone would pass us Gracee would pull my arm and say let's run.
We made it to the finish line:)!
After all the races are done they give away prizes and Gracee won a skateboard. A little boy who was standing next to us won a Miley Cyrus cd so they switched and the little boy was pretty excited. Gracee and Emme were semi excited about the cd. They didn't miss it luckily when we took it to Wal-mart and exchanged it for something we knew they would like a lot better:)

That is so awesome that they actually like doing this, last year Ellie and Connor were in a race like this and well.......Ellie ended up crying half way through. That girl hates to walk let alone run.

Ps, your girls hair always looks so stinkin cute!!
