Singing to the fridge

This might be the cutest thing ever.

The Lilac Fest Mutt Strut 5k

Connor and I participated in this unique 5k over the weekend.  This was his second 5k and it's pretty crazy to see the difference from last year.  I chose this race because I love Lilac Fest and also because Connor loves doggies and I thought he'd be in heaven with so many in one place.  As soon as I took him out of the car, he started shrieking, "Doggie!"  We got our number bib and then walked around to visit many of the doggies that were going to be racing and watching.

I followed him as he walked around and pointed to all the doggies.  He's never scared of a dog, but he was scared of the person in a dog costume that was handing out balloons!

He loved his balloon and I tied it to his stroller so he could play with it during the race.


Getting ready to start running!  We did pretty well considering I was pushing an extra 35 pounds or so.  I didn't practice at all, but we made pretty good time (37:40).  I only stopped to walk a few times for just a few short times when we were going up a hill because it was so hard to push the stroller.  It was amazing to see so many children and dogs make it through the whole 5k!


Once we reached the finish line, Connor saw them handing out bananas and started freaking out, "Nana! Nana!"  I took him out of his stroller and let him walk around.

We took a walk through Lilacia Park (smells SO good!) and he stopped to point at some of the flowers and dogs.

While we waited in line at the pancake breakfast, Connor ate his nana and charmed some of the people in line by us.  We shared a few pancakes and filled our hungry tummies!

A very fun morning for Mommy & Connor!
