My first race!

Last weekend, Mama and Daddy took me here to run my first road race!  It was a 100 yard dash, and we got to wear costumes!  It was really fun because it was at a park, so I got to play while we waited for the race to start.  See the bouncy house?  Normally I really like them, but this one had lots of big kids in it, so I decided not to bounce for very long.


When it was time for the race, Daddy and I walked to the start line together, and Mama stayed to greet me at the finish line.


I was really excited until we got to the start line and two big kids with HUGE angry bird costumes started swarming around me.  I was so scared!  When it was time to run, I didn't want to be next to them, so I made daddy walk with me WAY behind those scary birds.


When all the other scary costumes were out of the way, I let go of Daddy's hand and sprinted into Mama's arms.  And they gave me this ribbon as a prize!  Hooray!
