::fun run::

This is another post filled with content from back when Cammon & Lorri were here--a month ago now!
So anyway, it's fun stuff so I can't just skip over it.
Max's new school is kind of like a neighborhood school. Like a neighborhood school that also services a bunch of other little towns around where we live. It has an interesting small community feel while really being a huge school with tons of kids. I mean, there are four 1st grade classes, and each class has at least 20 kids in it--usually a few more.

So anyway, we think that getting involved with his school is a very good idea for lots of reasons, not least because there are lots of little mouths going there that probably need some sort of dental help (a good amount of them are already coming to our office, so that's fun).

Every year Max's new school hosts an event called the "Fun Run." Everybody gets together, runs/walks a 5K or a 1 mile and then eats breakfast in the gym. I heard about this from one of the moms before the year even started and I thought at that point that if a sponsorship was needed, the office should get in on it!

So we did.

See us down there on the bottom right? Dentistry for Kids!!
It's really fun to be on these shirts because the school allows kids to wear the shirts as part of the regular dress code (otherwise all they can wear are plain polo shirts and stuff with only the school logo on it.) So we see kids in the shirts all the time. Yay!!

The Fun Run was saturday morning, and it was a little tough for us to get everybody out of the house early enough to have a good buffer--we ran into closed roads and as a result were late. Barely late, like one minute, but the rest of the crowd was already on their way when we started.

Pinning on numbers.

There go Max and Kris trying to catch up--until Max pooped out. Wimpy wimpy wimpy. I don't think Max will be joining the cross country team anytime too soon.


But you know who wasn't wimpy? Little Scooter! He ran and ran the whole way. Check out the below picture. He is literally flying.

And his run is so funny--I'm scared the whole time he's going to fall on his face. He runs kind of all tipped over high on his toes. It's nerve racking!

There came the fast guys back around the bend to meet us.
Then went on to the finish line.


Baby Ann just hung out in the stroller and tried to keep her eyes out of the sun--not too easy to do out here.

Our little group came in very very last. We don't care but it was kind of funny.
The breakfast was delicious--yummy breakfast burritos with eggs and sausage and green chiles. Mmmm.



Max even ate some!

It's fun to have community things like this to get involved in--personally and business wise too. I was really excited when the next week we got an excellent new patient in the office directly from our Fun Run advertising. Yay hooray!
