Every year we look forward to the Saul Gallegos Memorial Run. Even the kids get excited and decked out in their running gear.
They helped Papa Dale set up the sound system.
Eventually she was asked to leave the microphone alone and found Mommy's hand.
Rock taught his siblings the importance of warming up before a race.
The race started and DeA took off aiming to win the 10K.
I slowly started with the kids at a slightly slower pace.
Ryker tried to run as fast as he could...but that didn't last very long.
Jens' little legs didn't hold up very well.
After walking, running and carrying Ryker and Jens we finally made it to Mama Rae's water stand. Shortly after that I found Rock who had run the whole race to that point.
Rock ran almost the entire 5k with only a few stops. The watermelon was a sweet reward.
Chayo is the best and loved stealing Max from his stroller.
After the run we went out on the river with the Hinckley's. The kids loved riding in the tube.
Even DeA and Kendra enjoyed the water.
Just to be clear, Jens was told by her parents to leave the PA system alone......She was just fine! The kids sure made the whole day fun and memorable. They were true warriors. Couldn't have done it without their help.
