Running the (1/4) mile

For PE the kids at school are doing the President's Challenge for fitness and one of the activities they must do is run a mile. 6-7 year olds only have to run 1/4th of a mile. So Monday was the big race day. All the moms and several other missionaries came out to cheer.

We decided to ride in the car so we could see him start and get to the finish.

I took this picture as Dawson took the lead. You can barely see him in the mirror, but he is in front. :) He knew he only had to run a little bit. :)


His brothers cheered him on. Literally the entire (two) minutes, Kenan said, "Go Dawson! Go Dawson! Go Dawson!"

At the finish line.

Since we still had the car and the other kids had a bit more to run, we decided to drive around again and cheer for everyone one more time before they finished. I don't know if they enjoyed that but we all did. :)

At the mile finish line they had blue ribbon to run through. So Dawson hopped out of the car and ran through his ribbon.



Everyone did great!

The spectators. They were ready to go home.


Very proud of my boy!
