Running Cousins
Running cousins this morning for Spanish Fork Fiesta Days celebration. After Benjamin not doing so well in the Tour de Donut on the bike, I wanted him to experience something I knew his was good at – running. So Benjamin and Samuel did the 1 mile fun run with Matt. Benjamin’s time was 8:27 and Samuel’s time was 14:05. I started running with Benjamin, but he took off when Samuel and I were slowing him down. Benjamin also decided that he wanted to run barefoot, but did opt to run in socks since that would be slightly more comfortable. This was because he wanted a pair like my Vibram 5 fingers shoes, but they are too expensive for growing feet!
The older cousins ran the 10k. Brandon with his good friend Matt, Jared, Alyssa and Holly. In fact, I think after Brandon finished his 10k, Matt’s 1 mile fun run started and LaMont wasn’t ready to run with Matt, so Brandon jumped in the race to run with Matt. What a fantastic big brother!
Preschool field trip to farm
The Joy School group that I’m in has been great this year. Not only has saved money, but has been fun to choose what field trips we could do with the kids. (See the Instrument Petting Zoo post).
Today we went to Pleasant Grove to the Hee Haw farm where the farmer’s wife did a fun little presentation, then the kids got to go pet (chase) the new animals, go on homemade slides and rides. Pretty good for $6 admission. (And smart business practice for the farmer!)
Jacob ABSOLUTELY loved the animals. He kept going back to the rabbits and wanting to pet them. I had to chase a couple of the rabbits that got out of their cage because of all the attention they were getting from the kiddos.
Samuel’s favorite was the LOOOONG homemade slide. Complete with a water puddle at the bottom 🙂 ! Fortunately he wore the right kind of pants that dried quickly when I had him sit on the black, really warm tubing.
