We rang in the first day of our summer (Saturday) with a jam-packed day of activities. The day began with my neighbor-friend Christy and I running in the Diemer 5K (I got my second fastest time), following that was the parade that our husbands and kids joined us for and to round out the morning Joshua and his neighbor-friends, Corrinne and Hunter, ran the Jr. Jog. The parade wasn't as exciting as we had hoped for, but the kids got candy and they were happy! The Jr. Jog was cute; each gender and age group had their turn to warm up with Brian Diemer and then run their lap. Joshua did a great job running and had fun doing it; he got a "medal" and a water bottle full of coupons and goodies.
After a morning of excitement is was time for a quick lunch and short nap for Matthew. Then it was off to Cory's parents church for a Downhill Derby. Cory was supposed to race his dad's car, but after it got hung up on the starting ramp he opted to use his mom's "Gramma Mobile" instead. Cory and his brother Shawn raced against each other the first time and Shawn won by a ton. Shawn ended up placing second in their age class and Cory followed, placing third in the same class. Two of Cory's sister's kids raced the "Gramma Mobile" and one of them, Gabrielle, placed second in her age class. Even Cory's mom bravely raced in her age class and placed second. It fun afternoon and evening watching people race, eating some delicious junk food and just enjoying the day. Not a bad way to start out the summer!
