We couldn't wait to run in the Watermelon 5K on the 4th of July! I originally signed up with my sister-n-law Jessica, but then we decided to make it a family affair, and Matt and my brother-n-law Robbie signed up too. Then that turned into the boys running in the fun run, and my mother-n-law Marie spending the morning with us! All in all, it was a great experience!
There were over 4,000 people that participated in this 5K! Matt and I lined up within the 9/10 min mile runners, and it was wall to wall people. It took a solid minute after the race began to even start running!
Just 2 crazy runners in the midst of 4,000...
We were sure feeling the 90 degree heat on our run! Thankfully the local high school marching band gave out water and several members of the band played on the sidelines. Overall it was a great run and our favorite part was running through the finish line with this sweet boy cheering us on!!
Sweaty Mommy and her little racing buddies...
Although we weren't able to run exactly beside each other in the race, we loved being apart of this fun morning with our family!
Free sno cones made the heat so much more bearable!
Tanner and Tyler, little running cousins...
Carson sporting his 4th of July hat that Aunt Mamie made him with Daddy....
Then it was time for the Kids Fun Run! Carson was ALL about it! He loves to run with Matt and I, and he knew exactly what to do! Ready, set, GO!!!
Our sweet little runner heading for the finish line...
I ran with Tanner and he did pretty well too...
Thank you Grandma for getting up so early just to be apart of this fun morning with us!!!
