Spartan

We did a Sparten race . Everyone but dad ran a race . The race was in Hollister California . We stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Johns. When we got there we had to wait in a long line to get our race numbers. Mom's registration line went really fast but the kids line was slow moving. Once we got in ( like 15 minutes later ) we had to find moms start line first. Her race started a little late but it was fun for us to all get to watch her start. Mom ran a 5k with 20 obstacles. Next, we headed off to find ET’s race. ET had to run half a mile with a few obstacles. ET, was one of the youngest racers in his group. Dad ran along the side encouraging ET to keep going. ET ran hard and finished strong. He is still proud of his finisher medal. The 3rd race was MJ’s and SP’s . They ran a one mile with multiple obstacles. MJ finishef before SP but they were not that far apart. They had a lot of fun. They also both got finisher medals. We were watching the clock a new mom should...

We were pretty lucky and had a really up close show. Some of the event people even told us that if we were part of the crew we could be there. But the people said we were, so we could stay. While we were sitting there a crew member from another balloon came over and asked if some of us could help them set up.  They were short handed. SP and CJ got right up to help. They got to pull ...

ET's Birthday Adventure to the Dragon Light Festival in Reno. Happy Birthday ET!!! We spent all day celebrating ET, eating orange chicken and chocolate cake with chocolate moose frosting topped with strawberries.  Once done with cake Mom and Dad serprised us with tickets to the Dragon Light Festical . When we first got there it was still light out, so the lights were not bight yet and the festival was pretty empty. We enjoyed the seeing and doing everything before the crowds arrived, the darker it got the more people arrived.  We were able to walk around the light loop twive before it got to busy, we were able to take photos with all of the cool lights. I loved the peacock that was there, the most it was super pretty. It would change colors and its tail would go up and spread out. My next favorite thing up was this black light flower tunnel it was so pretty the floweres were always changing colors.  Next, was the butterflies there...
