Tigerthon 09'

Every year the elementary school does a fundraiser called The Tigerthon where the kids train to run laps for $$$. Every year it is sort of a big deal but this year just seemed to be an even bigger deal because now we had 2 little tigers to support. Ethan is pretty much excited about anything having to do with school so he naturally wanted Dad to be there. Dave was able to work from home most of the day and I am so grateful because what a day!

Addyson ran first and she did such a great job. In years past she did not care much about pushing herself but I think that maybe because her Dad was there to watch her this time she really ran hard. Five laps equal 1 mile and she got 8 so she did well!
Go Addy, Go Addy!
She loved showing off her sister. It is funny how much she acts like she can't stand her at home but when she gets around her friends, suddenly she is the best sister ever.

After Addyson ran we headed home for a short while and then we were back at the school for round 2 to watch Ethan.
I thought that Ethan would push himself hard for sure because he seems to be a lot more competitive than Addyson. He was so lax just walking most of time, chatting, maybe running a couple of yards here and there. He was just there to have a good time- there is nothing wrong with that I guess. He did a great job.
Refueling with his class.

That was an exhausting day for all of us!
