{ First Annual Forest Hills Easter Dash }

On Saturday, April 7 the kids and I went with Michelle McLeary to the first annual Forest Hills Easter Dash, to benefit the Wounded Warriors project.  We were planning to walk the one mile (while they also had a 5K run), but when we got there we found out we could walk the 5K, so we did!  Ava and Andy did GREAT...not one complaint (except that Ava was too hot!) was uttered the entire time.  It was quite a route, with some nice hills.  Michelle and I kept a pretty good pace and Andy did great keeping stride with us, and Ava had to jog at times to stay with us, but she did it!  As we neared the finish line, I told Ava and Andy to run the last couple of yards and the whole crowd started cheering for them!  We had a great time...thanks to Michelle for inviting us along!
