Norris Day, 2008

We had a great 4th of July and Norris Day this year! In typical form we overcommited ourselves in every way possible. We were up late the night before decorating Anna's bike for the parade. Why so much fuss? Easy... this was Sophia's first Norris Day and Anna's first year to race in the Fun Run. Very significant year, indeed. Enjoy the photos!




Sophia wore the same dress and hat that Anna did for her first 4th of July.

Anna is ready for the bike race. Watch out for the kid with no shirt!






Anna and friend Tori ran the 1 mile "fun run" for the first time this year. I ran with them so I could say that I had some amount of exercise for the day. About half way through the race Anna got tired of waiting for Tori and I so she went on at her own pace - quickly fading out of site and placing 2nd in her age group. If she hadn't tried to stay with us for the first half she could easily have won. I will start her on two-a-days next week!





Look at that form!






Look at the concentration on the faces of this team. Time to throw down!




We lost in the first round. :-(
