Each year at our elementary school, they have a fun run as one of the main PTA fundraisers. The kids get pledges for how many laps they can run or collect a flat fee to get wonderful prizes – like Frisbees, boomerangs and chairs with umbrellas. Since both Anna and McKenna were running this year we didn’t let them go bug all their family members for donations and they both got the Frisbee :) They split the grades up, so Anna and McKenna didn’t run at the same time, but surprisingly, they both ran 34 laps without knowing what the other had run. This meant Ava and I were up at the school all morning, on the first cold morning of the season, and Ava got to run for almost 2 hours! Kinder went first and here is McKenna and her friends:

About an hour later, it was 2nd grades turn!
And…they’re off!
Charlotte and Caitlin dancing their way around the track!
Now Ava gets to run with Anna!
Smiling the whole time
Kindergarten had recess while 2nd grade was running, and I look over to the playground to see all the kinder girls dancing to the music – and who was right up front – you guessed it, McKenna (and Abbie)!
