After a late night of fun with fireworks, we set out early to enjoy more of South Salt Lake's festivities and participated in their first annual 5k! Mom, Heidi, Ryan, Reed, Alan and I each participated in the race. Alan walked the race with me since it was a bad day for breathing, but we still had a great time. Mom was the first woman to cross the line, unsurprisingly, and Reed finished in 4th overall, which is amazing considering this was the first 5k he actually raced.
Faye had a great time in the stroller, too. After the race we played on the playgound, had breakfast at Dee's, then claimed a spot along the parade route.
Alan and Reed tried to get in a nap while they could. I think Alan wound up sleeping through most of the parade.
Heidi, Mom and I ran around with our cameras pulled out. Big surprise there!
Decked out in our race gear still. So patriotic.
It was fun trying to teach Faye to get excited about picking up candy. She was happy to sit with a piece in hand and watch the neighboring kids chase candy down, though.
After the parade, and once everybody cleaned up a bit, Alan and I headed back up to Cache Valley to spend the rest of the day with Sharon and Kelly. Luckily the rest of the day was pretty low key; it was Alan's turn to be throwing up and Faye seemed to be pretty worn out from all the excitement. We still had a good time, though! Happy 4th of July, everybody!
Way to go with all your running/walking around! You're inspiring... I think I need to do some of that too. ;) And seriously, Faye is SO cute! What a BEAUTIFUL little lady! Watch out, Momma--she's going to break hearts one day!
