We had a fun Saturday! We decided to hit up Atomic Days in Arco, Idaho. The kids LOVED the long parade....they each gathered a bag of candy each! 

The kids didn't like it too much when water was squirted at us and there was a lot of that! 

For the first time in a long time I noticed an age difference with my kids. Drake really understood racing for the candy and Addyson, even though she is competitive, still needed help finding the candy and picking it up in time.  

At one point a plane flew over head and dropped ping pong balls...my kids were in awe!!!

The fun didn't end there! I got to participate in my 2nd 10K!  Where I enjoyed myself so much! It was overcast, 70°, and it even sprinkled a little bit. I felt amazing until mile 5 where I started getting tired. 

You see that pretty Ford?!? He followed me for over an hour at 5mph or less. Yup, I was DEAD last and had my own personal cheerleader! I found it quite amusing, I hope he enjoyed my dancing at mile 4, which probably was the reason I got so tired at mile 5. :) 

Before you get embarrassed for knowing the girl who came in last, know that there were only 5 people who even ran the 10K. With this fun run they had a lot of participants, and like any other race I've been to, they start the 5K and 10K together so you don't know who is running what until 1.5miles when the 5K and the 10K split. 

Because there were only 5 of us and only 2 of us were women, we all placed and all got medals. 

Kade forgot to take pictures and I forgot to remind him.  So I tried to get one by the finish sign but they were taking it down by the time I got my medal. So the finish line will have to do :)

Later that night Kade, Lex, and I went to a car race in Pocatello with Jake and Trecia. It was sponsors night and PRB OIL sponsors one of the racers at the track. So the boys got in free and wanted to go. It was surprisingly fun. 

Look how cute we are! I hope everyone else had an enjoyable weekend.
