There is a 5K, which Kevin ran. There are 3 smaller races for kids. There is a 1 mile, 1/2 mile, and 1/4 mile. Both Kevin and Colin ran the 1/4 mile. We were so proud of them both. Kevin didn't want to run last year. It was very hot and I think he was overwhelmed. This year, he was at the front all by himself with the other older racers. He just followed the group and finished in the front as well. Colin ran the entire race holding his daddy's hand with a big silly grin on his face.
Our friends Shaun and Gail joined us, along with their two kids Chase and Parker. All four of them ran too! Neither Gwyn nor I ran the race this year, but I plan on doing it next year. I think Gwyn wants to wait another year or so before she tries.

He is so fast that he is a blur! (Really, I just took a bad picture.)
This is the cheetah that Kevin won last year when he came in 3rd. Kevin (son) loves this and often sleeps with it in his bed. He was very adamant that it got to watch him race. I took a picture to show him how the cheetah watched him.
I am bummed that I didn't get a picture of Kevin starting the race, but I did get Colin and daddy! Parker and Gail are behind them. Parker is blond with a pink skirt and Gail has the sleeveless purple shirt on.
Right after I took this picture Kevin heard me cheering him on. He smiled and ran faster!

This is how Gwyn spent the day!
All my runners!
To cool off we walked through the fountain again. Colin didn't want his feet wet though.
