Birthday Race

We had such a great day!!! The kids surprised me with a delicous chocolate cake, homemade cards and Spumoni my favorite ice-cream. I had to laugh when I read Grant's birthday card. It said, "I love you, and I want to babysit Oliver for 15 minutes, that's a long time for a kid! I hope you have a good day. Nine hours later......Good night." ~Grant

Jeremy and the kids gave me beautiful flowers.

We started the day off with the 22nd Annual Kids Run around Delaware Park. The race was 1.8 miles, we had such a wonderful time!!! All the kids received a number, timing chip, medal and a free pass to the zoo. Pretty good deal since the race was free. We look forward to making this a yearly tradition, but hopefully next year Jeremy can join us. We can't wait until he is done studying for the bar!!!

Here are some of the friends that we ran with.

This picture of Oliver cracks me up. This was his first "race."



Stretching before the race....


Goose making sure his timing chip was securely on his shoe.

The kids had fun at the zoo, and Monte discovered the perfect climbing tree near the zoo playground.


Oliver's first time in the "rainforest"
