The Carmel Fest Fun Run

Today, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Elizabeth, and Jim participated in the Carmel Fest 4.5 mile run. Elizabeth placed second in her age group. Kevin and Jim also finished. They beat the 86 year old guy. Of course, they all got beat by the lady that was pregnant and pushing a jogger stroller. After the adults finished, the kids got their chance. Evie started strong in the 3 year old race
But then she started to fade...here she is bringing up the rear.
She was too busy making poses at the camera to worry about competing.
Then Natalie ran the 2 year old race (with coach mom).
Here's Natalie doing her best Captin Jack Sparrow run. She placed second overall.
Then the babies ran. Oliver had assistance, but Jim made Annalise take some steps.
Barefoot, like the Kenyans.

Everyone wins in the Carmel Fest fun run.
Even the little ones got a medal.
Oliver and Annalise with their medals, but Annalise was too intrested in the grass and dirt.
