Great Pumpkin Run

The Great Pumpkin Race was on Wednesday. This is a big race that involves all of the elementary schools in the district. The cross country meets were against three schools at a time, and we only competed against the ones close-by. This meet was all schools in the district and had a huge turnout. The winners get pumpkins decorated by the high school cross country team. It was exciting because Nina was able to race too. She was excited and nervous but she did awesome! She came in third in the 400 meter for Kindergarten.

You can see Sela in the pink shirt chasing the girl in the black sweatshirt. When I saw that girl run across the field in the warm-up, I knew Sela had stiff competition, which is good for her.


Sela ran hard and came in 3rd which she was thrilled about.

Pumpkin Trophies and Rollin's gatorade trophy for only getting lost three times.

Winner's podium. There were so many people I couldn't even get close.

And here is Nina's "special and nice friend" Mason. He is in her class at school and she sent him a little note last week with a sucker taped to it. She spent about at least an hour on it. It was a drawing of a dinosaur and said "You're so nice." Mason also got third for the boys kindergarten race so I just had to get a picture.
