Dino Dash

Emma had her first race on Saturday. We went down to the river market and let her be a part of the 1K dino Dash that raises money for the Museum of Discovery. The anticipation of the race was great for her. We went and picked up her race shirt Friday night. Her Race bib had a dinosaur that she got to color on it. Unfortunatly she had a bad cold this weekend as well. When her nose runs it drives her CRAZY! she will constantly want to hold on to a tissue. She carried around her tissue all race morning and I knew she would want it when we got there as well. She got to pet an alligator....see a snake and dance to the Kinders ( a childrens group from LR) She loved them ( I think more than the race).

Finally the race was to begin. It was led my a huge Green Dinosaur. Emma had to stop before we had even made the first turn to go give the Dino a high five. Plus she is not too good in crowds and there were a LOT of people around. This let the area clear out some so we had more room. She walked 95 percent of the way.....not really feeling great but at the end when she got her medal and dinosaur she was beaming. She was so proud that she had one just like us!

When she woke up from her nap that afternoon the first thing she said to me was.....momma....that dinosaur sure was nice to me! How precious!
