Ronald McDonald kicked off the festivities by meeting the kids followed by a dressing them alike in blue shirts, removing them from their parents and having them warm up for the races. My kids were never out of my site (thankfully Mario had Karina under control) and I didn't see any tears or lost faces.
Next was the local mascot race. Fun for the whole family!
Cecilia was called to the coral first. The kids were broken down into small groups and were absolutely adorable! Some were fine until they saw their parents - I was so proud that Cecilia not only wanted to run the race, but did it with a smile on her face. She finished the race and was so very proud of herself!
After a while, it was Danny's turn for his races. The older the kids the more competitive they became. Danny also ran wonderfully. He finished both of his races and was proud of himself as well.
Poor little sister got a little pouty that big brother had "two" medals and she only had one. While there was only one "event" for her age group she didn't bite when we offered her another race!
Here is a closer view of my babies first running medals!
Here are my 3 runners - plus Karina. Danny shared one of his medals with her - as you can see, she was thrilled to be included. Karina will run in next year's fitness festival for sure!
Way to go racers!
