The girls ran in their first-ever race today. At their age level it wasn't so much a race as a run-no winners declared. They had a great time....eventually.

Scharae was already done with pictures for the day:
Eventually they loosened up a bit, once we were able to get into our waiting area and sort of space ourselves out a bit from the other people:
Scharae was pretty intent on removing all of the turf from the astro-turf field...and contrary to the second and third pictures here, she was NOT eating it. Much...
Posing with mom:
Daddy went up into the bleachers with the video camera for the race, but Papa was in town and came down for the race. He brought O My with him to run with the girls (and thank goodness he was there-I wasn't about to run it, I probably shouldn't have even been there, but I don't know if they would have run on their own):
They did really well keeping up with O My. Scharae made sure to warm her legs up at home before we went. Keira had an unfortunate accident yesterday morning which made the race painful for her-she has a nasty puncture wound right on the ball of her right foot from stepping on a toy while running yesterday. She did great with the race despite an ouchy foot!
