Sophia's First Race

We registered for a 1 mile kids' race today. Papa completed a 5K too (which he said was so easy he could do it in his sleep). We were very excited to run as a family this afternoon. But Alex has been fighting a cold so she stayed home. We had a great day but missed her and thought of her all day long.
Rachel wanted to stay with Sophia the whole race. We kept on encouraging her to keep running by reminding her that a medal was waiting at the finish line for her.
So she kept on running. With her best friend, Emma, by her side at the finish line. They are SO sweet together.


Rachel getting her medal.
Sophia and her first medal ever. She was so proud of herself.
All the girls that ran the race together today.
