On Canada Day, we took part in a race through the UBC endowment lands.
Here are the kids, pre-race, demonstrating their usual ability to take a group picture.
The three older kids ran a 1K race, I ran a 5K race, and Chris and Abigail cheered us all on.
Here's a decent shot. Note that the boys altered their race numbers. They were somewhat miffed that all of the kids doing the 1K run got the same number. (Sam, indignantly: "That's ridiculous! How can we all be number one?")
Apparently their need to differentiate is already pretty strong. Can't wait for the teenage years when it fully blooms.
Abigail and I decided to photobomb this shot.
Here are Evelyn and Sam coming up to the finish line. It was Evelyn's first race, so Sam ran all the way with her. What a good big brother!
Here I am coming into the home stretch. I didn't run very fast at all, but since the race was just for the average runner, I managed to finish 51st out of 249 entrants.
On our way back to the van, the kids decided that this big set of bike racks was a good place to play.
I love how creative they all are.
The big kids too.
Success!
