We took a break on Saturday, but then Sunday was another big day. Our realtor, Therese, organized a 5K and kids race to benefit the Red Cross. So, of course, we participated! I scrounged up some pirate gear of my own so I could fit in with the kids.
I love this pic of Grayson with his hand on his heart during the pre-race National Anthem.
As you know, we like to encourage the kids to participate in these races. This was the longest one yet... 1/2 mile! Avery ran the whole thing with lots of encouragement from Therese, who ran it with her!
Grayson ,on the other hand, made it about half way before I had to pick him up! We came in dead last, but we finished!
Yup, that's a peep you see with us. Leslie had the best costume!
The kids did some more exercising while the adults ran the 5K....
Grayson, as usual, was hesitant and just looked on.
I had a rough time running the 5K that morning. Leslie, who just kicked butt in the NYC Marathon this weekend, stayed back with me at my pace and cheered me on. Funny thing is that I won 3rd place in our age group. Totally should have been Leslie since we ran it together and crossed at the same time! Leslie, if you are reading this, I owe you a 30 minute massage!
Later, Grayson along with Leslie, won some treats at the cake walk! My caloric burn was quickly replaced by the delicious chocolate cannolis we got to take home with us.
Good thing, I also won the raffle prize of a 1 hour personal training session.
What a lucky day we had!
Shortly after that, we headed downtown to Bethlehem's annual Halloween Parade. It was chilly, but a very nice afternoon for a parade.
Being silly while waiting for the parade to start.
Watching the band of the high school that she will be going to in a few years (which is the rival of the high school that Mommy and Daddy went to!)
Gray waving to fire trucks.
We were all having a good time, when all of a sudden....
this creepy couple came up behind us! We are pretty sure they were professionals of some sort....or maybe real zombies. I'm not sure!
Hannah was NOT amused!
What a fun few days we had! Hope you all had a Happy Halloween as well!
