Labor Day Weekend

On Saturday September 5 we woke up to find a race going on at the park across the street so we went over to check it out.  While there we saw that they were having a Kids Fun Run, so we signed Elizabeth up.

I ran home to get the camera and missed the first part of the race but Ben said that in the rush of all the kids at the beginning she tripped and ripped up her knee. When I got there he was carrying her and she was bawling.  I took her and promised to run with her and so she decided to go on.  We ran the whole way (half a mile) and she was so happy when she finished.  I was so proud of her and she was so excited!

 

 

 

 

My Dad added an inspirational thought to this picture!

On Labor Day we went to the Louisville parade on Main Street.  We had to leave early so we decided to be at the beginning of the parade but we chose wrong and ended up at the end of the parade and it was pretty slow and they ran out of candy before they got to us; it was sad. Ben went home to get the car while Elizabeth and I walked up to the beginning (it was over by then) and he picked us up at the other side. 

 

We then went over to the Newson's house to have a BBQ with some friends.  It was fun to have everyone over and to be with friends.
