Exercise in the park.

Saturday 9/19
Aaron, Livi, Marley and Macy Allred (different Allred's)
Livi and Tallie Bonds
Our church ward had it's first annual 5K/1 mi fun run, walk, bike, or crawl Race on Saturday 9/19. The kids and I loaded up our bikes and joined in on the fun. It was a lot of fun. The activities committee did a fantastic job at putting everything together. The food of course was great but the signs along the way made us laugh, the water bottle that were made excited the kids and the trophies awarded, well, let's just say, one man's junk really is another man's treasure. Baseball trophies, basketball, and so on, but I'll save the best for last...
...Yes, a beauty queen pageant's first place trophy. Kendra, who found all the trophies, said she found it at a garage sale. The woman was asking $1.oo for it. She said she offered the lady a quarter! I couldn't believe it. This poor woman's possible greatest accomplishment, in her eyes,  had been reduced to a QUARTER! It was fun for us. And lucky Aaron Allred, the winner of the trophy(who buy the way, stands a good six feet tall plus), was informed that he's expected to bring it to next year's race. His poor wife wasn't even there to witness the event.

 It was a good time.

Billy was quite proud of those signs and the trophies he found at DI but that one Kendra got definitely took the cake! I had fun getting to know Aaron while we biked. He and Livi will have to come play with Keller and Pammie sometime.
