Racin' Ross

For a few weeks now there has only been one thing on Ethan's mind: his very first race! They had a fun run for kids at our rec center on Saturday and I had signed up Brett and Ethan, so Brett has been taking Ethan out and practicing.
Here is the picture Ethan took of the "Awesome!!!" things he got in his packet.

The boys right before the race.

Coming around to the finish line. Ethan was booking it at the middle of the 1 mile race and toward the end he was huffing it and said, "Daddy, I think I need to slow down a little."

Here they are coming up to the finish line where Ethan finished in 10 minutes! Not bad for a 5 year old!

And of course his totally awesome gram and gramps brought all his cousins to cheer him on.

Oh that is so cute. brett is such a sweet daddy, and i bet this is something that ethan will remember forever.
I havent looked at your blog for a while but i love the picture of ethan in front of the helicopter. If you guys give us a call next time you are in town I'm sure tim would be happy to take him to the air port and show him the helicopter's he flies for reeders.

How fun! I told Robert all about the race and I think he's got it in his head to try it with Nate in a few years. I'm all for that. It's so great that it was a big family affair, too.
