A little volley ball at cookout #2Yesterday Sophia ran in her first road race, a 5K. The race starts off the celebration of Gaspee Day in Warwick.http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/legacies/RI/200003494.html. (I tried to add a link that tells the history of the Gaspee, but I'm not sure I did it right). Anyway it is a big to do around here. Two off the teachers at St. Peters got together and decided to train with any students interested in running. Sophia missed a lot of the trainig days due to her busy schedule and I was a little concerned how she would fare.
Can I have a moment here to tell you all how stinkin' proud we all are of her. She did so well!!! Not only did she finish but she finished strong! She was my hero yesterday. That head strong, stubbornness that she has, paid off. We don't have her official place that she finished or her time, but if I can get it I'll post it, actually I'm sure she will post it on her blog too.
The race is followed by a parade, which is followed by cookouts(BBQ).We had two invitations yesterday and had a great time at both. It was a lovely day to spend with family and friends. This was Emmie's first parade and she had the best time ever. She loved all the noise and bands. The weather was picture perfect. Good thing everything happened yesterday, because today it's raining buckets... again.
What a fun day. You have EVERY reason to be proud! That is awesome!
