We had a really good time tonight-let me tell you why. Jordan Johnson decided to organize a race for the kids of our student neighborhood. They think it's pretty awesome that their moms get to race so they wanted to have a race of their own. There were five different races tonight: the kids' 100 meter dash, kid 50 meter dash, daddy dash of 110 meters, diva dart of 100 meters, and a 10-foot-crawling-frenzy for the babies. The kids looked like they all had a good time, but when it was the dads' turn, it looked like they were walking to the gallows as they approached the starting line. After they got started though, pride kicked into full gear and they did great. The moms were more willing-some even running barefoot so they could participate. The babies on the other hand were hysterical. They had special lanes taped out onto a sheet and a finish line at the end. All the parents set down their kids and started cheering, but not one baby moved. The more Jeremy and I encouraged Cambrie, the more scared she became until she sat down and just started crying. Only one child made it to the finish line and was still smiling-good job Morgan.
This was Cambrie right before she started crying-
she could have easily walked to the finish line had she tried.
Jeremy and I set up a mock finish line moment. This is what she would have looked like :)

If only Cambrie had seen her mom run before the baby race...then she would have known what a champ looks like & would have taken the race by a mile! I'm glad you guys came tonight, that was fun.
