Fun Run!

The children got to participate in their school's Fun Run on Friday, to raise money for arts education at the school. It's one of my favorite events - I love seeing the kids trying their hardest, running lots of laps, getting all sweaty and red-faced. I volunteered to mark laps for both kinders and 3rd-graders, and it was fun to be involved and cheering them on - it was also gorgeously sunny, one of our first clear days in ages. Liesl ran 12 laps, running some at a good clip and then stopping to walk with friends on others. She was happy, since that had been her goal number.

 The kinders are off!!!

Sebastian ran 20 laps this year - he looked even and steady the whole time, loping around the track at a good pace. He walked occasionally but never even looked all that tired out.
