Saul Run

Today was the annual Saul Gallegos Memorial Run.  Rock trained hard all year to dominate his division.  He started out a little distracted, but strong overall.
 He ran up ahead of us, then waited until we caught up.  He'd chug some delicious apple juice and then keep going.
 CHUG!  CHUG! CHUG!
 His little cousin Jacob was a worthy foe.  They were neck and neck for at least ten feet.
 Rock kept the boosters going strong.
 About halfway through he had to take a pit stop with Mommy's help.
 He watered down that ant hill pretty good.
 Then he turned the jets back on for the home stretch.  He finished strong and basically ran the whole 3km route.
 Ryker saved his energy for the lunch by riding in the stroller the whole way.  That way he was able to play hard.
 "Look, Rocks!" 
 "Mmm...watermelon..."
 Like two heavyweight fighters, Rock and Jacob hugged and made good after their battle.  Meanwhile, Ryker enjoyed himself some more watermelon.
 Really, he had like six slices of watermelon.
 He would go up to his great-great-aunt Alice and say "mah memo" and point at the watermelon. 
 His diapers are going to pay the price for all these watermelons.
 Rock found some other friends.  I don't know who they are (well, that's Jamison to his right) but they were all cool with him sitting in their circle.
 After eating a ton of melon he filled in the cracks with some gogurts.  Spoiler alert:  Gogurts are just yogurts in tubes.  Sorry to ruin that for you.
 Dad said some things about Saul and why we do this run each year.
 Ryker took care of some housecleaning once he got in the car.  Some deep, deep housecleaning.
