5k racing and celebrating Poppi's 60th Birthday!

We had quite a busy weekend!! First, we started out at McAlpine Park where Shawn ran in a 5k race. This is the exact same course he ran in high school for the state championships where he came in 2nd place!! It was really cool for him to be back at the same course, however, he did have to realize that his body was not quite the same as it was 15 years ago!! Never the less, he did awesome and hit his goal for this particular race, which was to get below 22min. and HE WON 1st place IN HIS AGE GROUP!!!! (just for comparison, when he ran this course in highschool, his times were in the low 16minutes!!)

After the race, we headed to Greensboro over the weekend to celebrate Poppi's 60th birthday. The kids had fun riding horses, stopping at the Strawberry patch to pick some berries in the sprinkling rain, riding Poppi's fancy lawnmower (it's the small things people!), and eating Poppi's strawberry pie birthday cake!
