Run Chikin Run 10K

On Friday night, we headed to Murfreesboro to visit the Vance/Moores. They were kind enough to host us so that Laurie and Jason could run the Run Chikin Run 10k on Saturday morning. Amanda graciously offered to keep all the kids that morning, and Cort rode out with us to be race support. The race began at 7 am -- it was warm and humid.

Laurie and Jason before the race.



















We both finished -- Laurie with a time of 1.01.22 and Jason with a time of 1.05.59. The best part was all the snacks at the end -- delicious cookies from a local bakery, coffee from a local coffee shop, and (for meat-eaters like myself) chick-fil-a chicken minis!!!

Back at the Vance/Moore home, once cleaned up, Uncle Jason introduced Simon to a new game -- Pillow Mountain. Lots of pillows, slick sleeping bag, running, jumping ... how could it not be fun?














We then went to a place we'd heard a lot about -- the Discovery Center. What a great place! Simon enjoyed going down the twisty slide, climbing on a firetruck (seen below), and so many other things that I can't begin to list them.



















Naomi enjoyed herself, too -- seen here crawling and picking up tiny rocks.
