Audrey participated in her first long distance race a couple weeks ago. They call this the "Fun Run"at her school. It is probably 300-400 meters long, quite a distance for little legs. Here she is stretching at the starting line.

Audrey has already proven to be very athletic... (and we have already proven to be competitive parents) However, she took this race to be true to its name, a "fun" little run. She finished very near the end, possibly because she and Laney held hands for half the race, and also possibly because she had to stop and wait for Laney after she fell down.
She wasn't too disappointed that she didn't win a medal and now understands that you have to run your hardest to try to get the top awards.But for this race and this sweet time of life, we are proud that fun and friendship have won the top prize.

Amber, as Audrey's grandmother, I am so glad you can be there for these memorable occasions. Audrey clearly has the talent for athletics, she just has to develop some "Indian Fighting Spirit" ! David recently told me he was the fastest boy in elementary school in the year 19??. So, Audrey has a gray-haired role model!
