Kevin ran in the Funky Foot Race half marathon here in Brookings yesterday and the girls and I went down to watch him finish. They also had a kids' boardwalk dash that Kinsley got to run. She was in the 3-6 year old race and was the only 3-year-old there. She was the smallest by a long shot. But she absolutely loved it and even came in 3rd place. I'm so thankful for events like this for kids. It's so great for them to be able to see other people out being active at the event and then get to actually join in themselves. There were people of all ages at this one - from her age all the up to a 72-year-old man who ran the 10k.
Here she is waiting for Daddy to finish his half marathon
And checking out the boats in the harbor after his race
Getting her number pinned to her shirt before her race! She was so excited to "really get a real number of her own" :)
Checking out the competition
Getting instructions from Daddy
Here's the video of her race!
kinsley's race
And such a proud girl afterwards
The girls even got to have balloon animals made! Kinsley got a lion (that ended up popping and traded for a green dog) and Dagny got a yellow bunny (that popped and was traded for a monkey climbing a tree!).
At the awards ceremony, the girls had some fun doing handstands ...
running to Daddy and doing cartwheels ...
getting thrown into the air and spun ...
and getting tossed way up
It was such a fun day that ended with us back down at the harbor to watch the fireworks. Kinsley loved the whole thing and Dagny fell asleep about half way through. It was great.
