Colby got to participate in this really cool event this year called Marathon Kids. Marathon Kids is a free program that challenges children to run or walk 26.2 miles over 6 months. Since school began he and his classmates have run 1/4 to 1/2 mile each day and last weekend they completed their marathon at the medal ceremony!
It was a really rainy Saturday, but Colby was so excited to get his medal that we decided to brave the drizzly mucky weather for over an hour as we waited for our turn to run our last lap!
Through the finish Line Hooray!
Of course we had to have something for Brody too. Colby gave Brody his medal he got from swim lessons last year so that he wouldn't feel left out! Isn't that sweet? Colby we are so proud of you for finishing your first marathon, and for being such a great big brother!
That is REALLY COOL! I am so proud of COLBY! Give him a BIG HUG from his AUNTIE BRANDI and UNCLE WAYNE!!!!!! :)
