My little family! The ribbons around the boy's necks were their medals from the family fun run earlier that day. They LOVED them and still wear them all the time!One of the nights we had a mexican themed dinner complete with two pinatas. Each of the kids got a chance to take a few swings. I love how focused Andrew looks!Here's Ela's turn with her daddy standing by offering encouragement!And the mad rush once it finally broke. There were quite a few bigger kids so my boys were on the outskirts of the mob, but Danny (my brother, in the striped shirt) was in the thick of it throwing candy to my kids to make sure they got some. What a good uncle!Saturday morning we had the First Ever Clark Family Fun Run/Walk/Ride. I was in charge of this event and it went great! We went on the Centennial Trail (there were courses marked off for 1, 3, or 5 miles) and was followed by a breakfast at the park. It was lots of fun and most people participated in some way!
Here's Andrew all ready to go!Some of the runners on the course. My brother and cousin took over pushing the stroller for me after about the first mile. Abby was the first girl to finish the 3 mile race, but only because she was in the stroller and finished just ahead of my cousin's wife :-)At the breakfast.. We went to the river at lunchtime for a picnic. The rest of the group went to Couer d Alene, but these guys needed naps, so we stayed closer to home. They certainly didn't feel deprived, though. They loved the river!
Good times and good memories. I'm so glad that we were able to do this, hopefully it won't be another 10 years before we do it again!
