5K and Pancake Breakfast

This morning I ran my first 5K!  Despite being passed by two speed walkers, a couple of sixty year olds and even a ten year old, I still finished and ran the whole way. 

 

 

After finishing the 5K we were able to get a free ticket for me to the Pancake breakfast that was being held at the high school.  So of course, we had to go.  I mean, who turns down free pancakes?

 

 

 

They met the polar bear and gave him all kinds of hugs.  Dawson in particular loved giving him hugs and laughing about it.  He still couldn't believe there was a polar bear in the school, even though Ava corrected him "it's just a person in a costume, Dawson."

Ava picked the witch's hat

 

I can't believe this boy sat still as a statue for his face painting. 

 

Go Bears!

 

They also enjoyed watching the steel drum band that performed.  Would have never expected Mumford and Sons, but it was definitely enjoyable.

 

After we left, Dawson became very upset and we had to go back to watch the band for another song.  He was really enthralled!

 

The kids with their goody bags in front of the polar bear statue.  It was a health fair in addition, so we came home with plenty of trinkets (junk) for the kids to hoard forever, while I sneak it into the trash.  We saw a couple of kids from Carter's class and enjoyed our morning together!
