The Pumpkin Dash 2009

We decided to "run" again in the pumpkin dash this year. The entrance fee goes to charity, and everyone under 12 who crosses the finish line gets a pumpkin. We did the one-mile stroller run and didn't come in last, so we think of it as a success. Considering we were a little late and barley had our numbers one when the gun went off to start the race. I had Tucker in the stroller, and Jeremy had Maeli in the back-pack. It was pretty fun, and not quite as chilly as last year. Here are some of the highlights.
Maeli's prize
Then we picked one out for Tucker, since he "ran so fast" too
Jeremy got asked to fill in for a relay team that was short one man. Considering he wasn't really dressed for running, nor is he a runner, he did great. Coming in second for his leg of the relay.
Maeli and I killed some time on the swings while we were waiting for Daddy's team to win.
A little rest, and we're ready to hit the road...what a fun morning!
