One Mile Family Fun Run

Grantham and his daddy ran in a one mile race two weeks ago. Grantham was so excited and told everyone HE was going to win. John said that Grantham did great the first half mile but then got distracted at the water break area (saying hi to everyone and checking out the police cars). On the way back to the finish line (3/4 mile), Grantham realized that he didn't have his water cup and made daddy go back to get it. Needless to say Grantham did not come in first. In fact, he even took a few stops to wave the police car behind him to "pass." Daddy tried to explain the police were there to keep other cars from hurting him but Grantham just kept insisting that the car pass him:) We are very proud though because our three year old was the youngest participate to complete the race! After the race was over we asked Grantham would he want to do this again and he said NO. I guess it is back to sprinting for this family:)

At the starting line, Grantham did not like the loud gun shot that started the race

A great picture someone from our church took of Grantham
What a great stride:)
Right before he crossed the finish line (there were two people who finished behind him-one was his daddy)

I think Ham-bone runs a lot better than I would! Good luck with the last bit of pregnancy and the birth and all that good stuff!

I love this blog. How special for Daddy and Grantham to have such a great daddy-son moment before little brother arrives. I love the pictures of him running!!
