Pat's Run

Today we ran in the Pat Tillman Run...it was so much fun. Ben was especially excited for this because first of all he loves to race and second he LOVES Sparky...the finish line was on the 42 yard line at Sun Devil Stadium. On the way to the race Ben said to Benson "Daddy are you going to run in my race?" Benson told him "yeah Ben we are all going to be in the race" then Ben said "Daddy, will you run behind me so I can beat you?" I thought that was so funny..and just so you know Benson did run behind him (with Nathan...who ran almost the whole race). The kids had so much fun especially because they have been to so many of their dad's races (Benson likes to do triathlons) so it was fun for them to have their own race and cheering section (Nana and Papa came to cheer them on). Our family at the starting line
Nathan loved to run during the race he just kept saying "running, running, running"

Ben, Sparky, and Sammy..Ben was in heaven at this moment!

How fun!! What a great thing to do as a family! I love what Ben said! I'll have to remember that in the future- Do you think that anyone will cooperate with my request? I doubt it!
