This morning was the "Fun Run" at Jackson's school. Instead of selling wrapping paper or candy this year, the kids had to get pledges for their run. Jackson was super excited and called all the grandparents and aunts and uncles for their support!
Jackson and his friend, Jack, kept pace together a few times around the track. Then, everyone was going at different paces. The kids could stop at the water table and get water--just like a real marathon!!
Each time they went across the finish line, they got a mark on the back of their shirt which told how many laps you had run.......the most laps you could run was 35.
Drew was there to support Jackson and all of his friends and one time yelled to me, "Mom, I just saw your son!" He loved seeing all the kids and cannot wait until next year when he will be able to run.
Here is Jackson with his friend from his baseball team, Justin. Let me tell you.....all of the boys were pretty competitive, almost running the whole time! The announcers were encouraging the kids to walk a lap and run a lap, etc....Jackson was sweating so much! Guess what, he was determined to run all 35 laps and he did!! He was so proud of himself and can't wait to call all the people who pledged to tell them how many laps he ran! Maybe he can run the NYC Marathon with the other marathoners in the family....Papa and Auntie A :)
