Trolley Run

This morning we all were up and ready to go to the Trolley Run. BUT. IT. WAS. RAINING. Not just raining but thundering and lightening. Unsure of what the weather would be like during the race we chose to go to Daddy's church in our running gear instead; we didn't want to risk lightening with strollers! Grammy and Poppy joined us for an early morning church service. After service, it wasn't raining so we all decided to start the Trolley run from Daddy's church (which is right alongside the course). Anna and Ashley jumped into the running stroller with smiles on and the rain cover on (it was sprinkling) and away we walked. We were only a mile away from the Plaza so instead of making the 4 mile walk, we did a 1 mile walk.

It was a picture perfect finish with Anna and Ashley just barely beating Daddy as we ran across the finish line!

After the walk we ate some post race food, snatched a free Papa Murphy's pizza to take home and cook for lunch and went to the kids run. Henry, Frances, Aunt Laura and Uncle Aaron met us for the kids race and we had a blast!

We got to meet a lot of chief cheerleaders AND the Chiefs horse warpaint. Anna even got a huge kiss from him on her cheek and an autograph from the cheerleader with him. Ashley even got to pet the horse too!

 

I can't believe he kissed me!

ON the cheek!

I just touched a horse!

We danced to rap music made especially for kids and stretched before we ran in the race. the girls learned different stretched and they pretty much tried all the ones they had us do. I was proud of them for participating in the stretching. Both girls were super cute trying to do all the stretches and they even let us help them on the hard ones where they could lose their balance.

 

After the official race we got our ribbons and then had our own little race. What a blast we had!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then it started raining and we had to make the 1 mile walk back to our cars in the rain. Good thing our stroller has a rain protector! And look at these two? Could it be more sweeter with Anna's arm around Ashley? Totally made my day!

 

We can't wait for next years race! Can't you tell by the look on the kids faces that they can't wait either?!?!?! :)

Love,
Anna and Ashley
