Our community had this 1K pumpkin Dash which my work helped organize, so we decided to participate in the "racer with stroller" division (They also had a 5K run--but that just didn't sound fun). We all got up and met at the park at 9:00 to get registered. Jeremy and I got t-shirts (Maeli did too, but her's was very big) and our racer numbers. This is before the race started:
En route: Jeremy ran ahead to take pictures. Everyone who saw us made a comment about our "cute little pumpkin." Thanks for the outfit Grandma Terry, Maeli makes a great jack-o-latern. SHe kept rocking back and forth trying to get me to go faster--she loved the down-hill parts.
At the finish line: Every kid who raced got to pick out a pumpkin at the end. Maeli was really cold, so Jeremy helped her pick out her prize. I was very satisfied with my placement (which they didn't keep track of after 1st and 2nd). We finished, and I beat the lady in high-heeled sandals. At one point Jeremy even told me I was doing great after I huffed it up a gravel hill--not the easiest task with a stroller.
Enjoying some victory hot-cocoa by the heater
Totally Pooped--Obviously Maeli got her work-out

She makes a great pumpkin. That sounds like such a great day. You all look so good together; I can practically see the scrapbook page.
I'm impressed! I don't think I'd do very well in the "stroller up a gravel hill" category. And you all look very cute and halloweeny. :) It's sometimes hard to remember that it's getting chilly other places, because we're just now dropping into 70s for our afternoon highs. There are a couple of times of year that it's really nice to live in Oklahoma, weahter-wise.
