Elliott was allowed to run in the 4-5 year old race, in which they run a 1/4 mile. I was surprised that Elliott ran the entire race, and really seemed to enjoy himself. And he really liked the popsicle he got at the end.
Emma ran in the 2nd-3rd grade race. She had to run a 1/2 mile. She has told me multiple times that she hates cross country and thinks it is boring, and makes her side hurt. But, she completed her half a mile, and she ran most of the time, and she wasn't the last one, so I was very proud of her. She still told me she didn't really enjoy it, but I think she was glad to compete along side her friends. And she also enjoyed her popsicle at the end.
After the races, we let the kids play on the playground for a while. It was a beautiful evening to spend in the park. We ate supper at Cherry Creek and then headed home to call it a day. We ended the day listening to the kids laughing and playing in the yard on a perfect summer evening.
