FUN RUN

Our first annual Lakeview Fun Run was actually quite fun. The school hired a company that brought in tracks, blow-up tunnels, silly college -looking mc's which choregraphed every lap. As we ran, the music changed and we were running, bouncing, hopping, skipping, walking, playing air band instruments, or swaying to the best of the best music. The students wore t-shirts with the lap squares on the back so they could easily be marked as they completed each lap.

Daddy, Trent and me went to join the kids as they participated. Fortunately, Megan and Tyler ran on the same track at the same time which made coordinating much simpler. Trent didn't want to be left behind so he jumped in ran the laps as well.

Tyler is a very watchful older brother and he made sure Trent was safe and protected as he rounded the track. Watching those boys melted my heart.

When Trent got tired, Daddy stepped in and ran with him on his shoulders with Megan and Tyler at each side. Look out- cause here they come!
Megan and I gaily skipped our way around the track. I forgot how freeing skipping is. I find myself skipping every now and then in the parking lots of grocery stores- why not? Kids are not the only ones who can have fun.


After the younger grades the fifth graders came out to dominate the track. It was a completely different feel. Those fifth graders were foaming at the mouth before the race even began. Competition was fierce, the speed was intense and the race was on! I kept Trent out of this one for safety purposes and watched the as those determined 5th graders proved their status on the track.

Greg and I rode our bikes to school with Trent in his bike car seat and rode home afterwards. I love riding my bike. Trent and I often hop on and ride around the neighborhood. Once, I had to run errands and I the weather was so nice I couldn't resist. I put Trent on the back and we rode all our errands, even through the drive-thru pharmacy to pick up strips for Tyler. The pharmacists were tickled and so was Trent.

Isn't life fun?
