5K race is here. What a fun family day along with running, walking, and music, food, and just a beautiful day.
Jenny busy all day. Great job Jen.

Beautiful view on one of the turn arounds.
Jessica, Ryan, Cassey, and Tallie walking toward the end.
Lots of strollers and they had to go over some rough terrain.
Jenny and Ryan surveying the land and waiting for the kids to come back from the 1K.
The kids race was so fun. Kids ran, walked, some got some help and
some parents had trouble keeping up with their kids...
And some kids knew the ropes of the running. Their mom taught them. Hands were out to catch a congratulations high five.
You can see the look of "I did it" on all the kids.
Some kids needed coaching but willing to keep going.
Jen and the boys kept going and were so glad to run through the finish line.
This picture is one of my favorite. In front you see Courtney knelling down to great Mattie and Brian was watching from the side. And behind them you see the Heare's helping their little runner passing through the finish line.
Then we have the youngest walking.

The gourmet picnic..
Cassey brought her dog on the walk as well. In fact there were lots of dogs that ran or walked with their owners. He is deciding if the Dr. Pepper would be thirst satisfying.
