Run Run Reindeer

It is one of our traditions to do the Run Run Reindeer.  They always hold it on the first Saturday of December.  This year for the kids they had white shirts and fabric markers so they could decorate their own shirt.  It was pretty cold.  A couple years ago we had a huge snow storm that started during the Run Run Reindeer.  We were hoping for that again but it was blue skies.

Courtney and Bryan entered to run the 5K.  I stayed with Ethan because he was still in a boot and couldn't run.

She was ready to run!  Since she has been playing soccer and they have been conditioning, I wasn't nervous that she would finish.  I was a bit nervous that she would get lost.  But they had signs so it was all good.

We have some neighbors who run it every year with their two boys so Courtney started the race by the boys but they quickly left her in the dust.

After the race began, Ethan and I spent our time playing with a huge Jenga game and taking a selfie (my camera lens on my phone obviously needs to be cleaned because the selfie looks washed out).

  

Then people started getting back from the run so we began watching for them.  Courtney came in and had a great time.

  

Bryan came in next and beat his time from last year.

  

These aren't their official times but they were kind of close.  They were able to get donuts, water, bananas, and hot chocolate.  Great run!
