Run 4 Life

Last Friday was the Run 4 Life here at Stuttgart.  A's dance team was performing, so I went ahead and signed us up to walk in it, too.  At the time, we thought MiMi & PaPa would still be here, so I planned for them to stay at home with Little R, and R, the girls, and I could participate in the Run 4 Life.

But since MiMi & PaPa left a week early, we had to do the event WITH Little R.  After a rough start with some major whining, Little R came around and we all ended up having a really good time!

A takes a Team Dance class, and this was their first ever performance.  They needed a little (or a lot) more work as a team, but this gave them a chance to get up in front of people, and now they know what they need to work on!  A hasn't performed in front of people since we left Cheer 4 Christ in Oklahoma...and she has missed it!  But I definitely think she has lost some of that confidence that she used to have...hoping she can get that back!

After her performance, the kids played out in the fields.  Little R was definitely feeling the music, and had quite the little dance party...showing some moves we had never seen before!  The girls had friends there too, and had their own little dance party...even T was dancing!! : )

Then we headed out to walk our laps, but Little R had other things in mind...he took off sprinting!  And that little dude is FAST!  I think he ended up running 3 laps...with some short walk breaks here and there...so that's a mile...pretty impressive for a 5-year old...AND after his bedtime! : )

All in all it was a good night.  We got to support A and her performance, we got to honor Grandma & Grandpa Coffey, and we got to spend a few hours together as a family doing it.  Not bad for a Friday night!!

Little R getting his groove on...he was using his hat as part of his dance moves...passing it behind his back, throwing it in the air.  He had strangers stopping to watch!


Exhausted!!
