Bartlett Bombers

In October we had the Richland High School Cross Country Invite Kids Race. We have done this every year since Michelle was little. It started when Michelle wanted to run with Daddy so they ran part of the citizens' race together, which I think is a 5K so they didn't run all of it. The next year they started the Kids Race. We LOVE going, well we usually do. This year Michelle wasn't too excited about it. A couple years ago I figured out that if I showed up just a little late, we could jump in half way through the race (of course we'd jump in behind everyone else) and then we'd only run part of it, mainly because Mommy is lazy! Last year I showed up late ready to jump in, and they held up the race for us!!! I was SO embarrassed because I had to admit that I was late on purpose! Anyway, this year we tried to show up on time, didn't make it, so we just jumped in at the end again. Whitley ran great! Next year she is definitely doing the whole race herself! This is Whitley racing to beat Daddy to the finish line.
Michelle jogged for less than a minute and decided she was done so this is her just waiting for it to be over!!
This is how Tyler "ran" the race, in Uncle Matthew's arms!! Poor Uncle Matthew carried Tyler the whole way and then Tyler got all the credit!!
So, next October if you are in the Tri-Cities area and want to come join us, just let me know!! It really is a lot of fun!!
