Reindeer Run

Saturday morning we got up, bundled up, and headed to Macon for the annual Reindeer Run/Santa Stroll with our friends, the Smiths. It is an annual fundraiser for the children's hospital in Macon. This was W's and L's first race (W is ready to do another one--I think we will in Jan.). We did the stroll which was 1 full mile including hills. W did great...as soon as Santa waved the flag to begin the race, W was off. He ran most of the way. Of course, he'll tell you he ran the whole thing and that he won! L ran a little, walked a little, and got carried a little. She gets a little nervous in large crowds, but I think she would have ran the whole way with W otherwise. The most exciting thing for L that day was SANTA! She just kept watching a him and pointing to him and whispering his name.





...and he's off! ( you see him, he is the littlest one in red)

waiting for us at the finish line.
