4th of July

We had a 4th of July party at Don's parent's house. Sarah and Molly were ready for a fun filled weekend. We camped out all weekend and the girls had a blast! Sarah had fun hopping with baby frogs (one of which she hopped right on top of...), picking cherries, and finding sticks for the fire. Molly loved running free in the field and eating berries that her sister picked for her. Molly also experienced her first tractor ride! (Seinfeld, anyone?!) Below are some pictures...Sarah and Molly before our whirlwind weekend, Sarah with her cousins, Hannah and Hope, Molly and Daddy on the tractor, Sarah reading a book to Molly in the motorhome, and Sarah resting with Bronson after an exhausting weekend! All in all, the girls had a blast, and it was so nice the night of the party to just let Sarah run free with her buddies without constantly worrying about her or having to entertain her! Thank God for tents and air mattresses! What could be more fun for a two year old?!




Run for the Young!




Sarah ran in her second annual kids fun run on June 28th. Her Papa helped plan the Crocker Park Run for the Young race and Sarah was very excited to run with mommy and Uncle Dan!

At the start of the race she was a little apprehensive, causing us to get a late start and be the last ones on the course. Dan and I tried to speed her up by swinging her in our arms, but her foot caught ours and I fell on my face! We took a short cut and Sarah was much more excited to run once she saw the other kids! Below you can see her approaching the finish line... She was soooo excited!

Can't wait to run again next year...maybe she'll do the WHOLE race!
