In case you're wondering, no I'm not okay that this is our last Mustang Mile. I've been cheering kids running around the peanut for the last 15 years. Knowing that this chapter is about to close in our lives is weird, so weird.
Lucy and Dax lining up for their sixth Mustang Mile together.
As a big bad fifth grader, Daxton's grade was able to go first. Originally he was hoping to take one of the top places. But unfortunately he was still recovering from his bout of bronchitis and couldn't run as hard as he normally can. That's ok. We'll cheer you on no matter how fast you are going.
McKenzie and I both ended up volunteering for the event. She makes a safety vest look good doesn't she?
Jess showed up just in time for the kickball games against the teachers. The teachers win every year, but that doesn't stop the students from their untethered optimism that this will be the year they will win. Daxton was the very last kid to go. He was hoping for a grand slam to bring the score a little closer together. He managed to kick in two runs which was pretty good, just not good enough to close the gap. Sorry kids, the teachers won again.
Kelton was around volunteering for National Honor Society too. He, Parker, and Tai were on bouncy castle duty. They did great and ended up staying to hang out most of the night.
It was a fun evening, and I am grateful for all of the memories we've had at this event.
