Neighborhood 5K

This past weekend our neighborhood elementary school had their annual 5K fun run fundraiser.  We have several neighbor kids in the school, including Oliver's buddy Charlie's older brother Peter.  Charlie and Michael came to our house while Charlie's parents, his brother Peter and Keith ran the 5K.  

Kellan got up from a nap shortly after the boys arrived.  He was ready for lunch but he was quite distracted by the activity behind him.

Charlie and Michael LOVED Madalyn.  She was very patient with them and let them pet her.  I use the word "let" loosely since I know she really loved it.  Here is a photo of Charlie crawling under the table and Kellan's chair to get to Madalyn for a pet.

Poor Madalyn has really been showing her age this year.  She has gone from 9 lbs to 5 lbs.  We have taken her to the vet and she has tested to be fine.  At this point, she's just showing her age.  She will be 16 in August.

Charlie can barely take his hand off his work for a photo.

My biggest challenge of the day was getting all four boys out the door and to the race in time to see the respective parents cross the finish line.  We got their just as Charlie and Michael's Dad came across the finish line, followed by their Mom and Keith.  It was a cold and rainy day, so the boys opted for the indoor jumpy castle for a good hour of entertainment.

Oliver and Charlie didn't care if they were jumping or wrestling while they waited for another turn, they had a great time together.

They even closed the place down!

Look closely and you'll see Oliver in the middle.  Charlie is under him but you can't see him in this picture.

Hey look, there is Charlie.

What a good time and for a great cause.  Maybe next year Oliver and I will participate as well.
