FALL FUN!

These first three pictures are of the kids doing the "Elementary Run for Fitness" race. They did an AWESOME job. The course is a 1/2 mile run around the E-town Fairgrounds. There were about 15 girls in Claire's race...and she placed 3rd!!! WAY TO GO CLAIRE!!!!

There were about 20-25 boys in Ayden's race. One of the boys is Ayden friend and BIGGEST competition...they were in the same class last year and like to compete for the fastest times in EVERYTHING. His race was very fast paced, but he pulled through and came in 2nd place.
WE ARE SO PROUD AYDEN!! GREAT JOB.

Of course the race is fun, but the kids take it very seriously too! They were both very pleased with their accomplishments and did their very best! That's all we ever ask of them! p.s. the pics of Ayden are courtesy of our friend Jeff Ethreidge...Dalton's dad(Thanks Jeff). Dalton is the kiddo in the blue shirt in the group shot and is one of Ayden's closest friends.


NOW we shift gears (no pun intended) to a different type of race........
Jason participated in a cyclocross race last weekend...the kids were able to race afterward on a course designed specifically for them. It was SO fun to see them race so hard against other kids with the same passion for cycling......Like father - like son and daughter!!!

Claire checking out the course....

Watch out boys....here I come!!

Oh yeah...jumping the barriers is no sweat with Claire's determination:)

Ayden was, of course, VERY serious about the competition!! He wanted to race with kids who were older than he is...and he did with no problem
!

On your mark, get set, go!!

He sets high goals for himself and his sister is there to run beside him , cheering him on (in the background)!!

An expert already!!

MY CHAMPIONS!! by the way...I will post pics of jason soon. He did a great job too and the pictures of him were professionally taken so they are extra good!
