Today was a very busy day! This morning, Dani, Amanda, Hannah, our uncle and I all went to Fairfield (a neighboring town just about 20 minutes away) to run the Fairfield Flag Flyin' Fun Run. Dani and Amanda came to cheer the runners on. This has been Hannah's and my third year in a row to do this. I have to admit that I didn't train, so I didn't feel too good after the race. :)

After the race, there was the parade. At that point, the rest of the family came up to watch it. :) Actually, Dad, Greg, Hannah and a friend of ours were in the parade, riding/driving an old car. :)
Our friend is driving it, and dad is in the back seat.
And... we had lunch at our grandparent's place, and played some games with our cousin. It was a fun time. When we got home, we did various things...
Dani mowed the lawn...
Daddy helped Sam take his training wheels off his bike... (which makes me remember how big he's getting! :( Too big!!!)

And we visited with our cousin and her husband, some of us cleaned, and dad and Greg worked on putting up fence for the goats.Becky with Shredder ♥

Oh neat! It is so neat to see other girls running in skirts, since not many people do that! :) We like to run races, at times. It's pretty fun, but it is hard when you haven't trained much! :) How far was the race? Did y'all place or win anything? ;) I won second place one time, at a one mile race, but it was at midnight on New Years Eve, so it was REALLY cold! :) Now, we like to play soccer, every night! :)
