Luke and Leta's first race!

There is a local christian adoption agency that puts on a 5K and 1 mile walk/fun run annually at OC.  Luke has been wanting to run a race for a while now, so this one was the perfect one for us to do that.  We headed to OC after and early supper and the kids got to play in a few bounce houses until start time.  There was a kids dash that I hadn't registered Luke for that I think he really would have enjoyed.  Next year.  Then it was time for the fun run.  I pushed Max in the stroller and Leta ran some and rode on the stroller some but Luke ran the whole way (taking a few walk breaks, or run back to us breaks while waiting for us to catch up)  He raced across the finish line and really had a lot of fun.  The perhaps best part was the 5K afterwards. It was a gorgeous evening and we found a good corner to spectate from and the kids clapped, cheered and gave high-fives to the passing runners.  They stood along the edge with their hands out, so hopeful.  Even Max loved giving high-fives, but he didn't quite get the whole "stand-on-the-edge-of-the-road thing" so he stood in the ditch, but many runners ran off the path into the ditch to slap his outstretched hand.  I mean, who doesn't want to give a 1 year old a high five?  We made it home for a late bedtime.
