Chocoholic Frolic

On Sunday morning, Lulu, Julia, Jared and I ran a 5K in Minneapolis called the Chocoholic Frolic. Lulu really wanted to run a 5K with me, and she did a great job.  First, we went to the expo at Union Depot to get our loot: shirts, bags, and chocolate!

Then, we headed back to Union Depot Sunday morning to get ready for the race.

Yeah! We finished. Now to enjoy our chocolate!

 Julia and Jared both placed 2nd in their age group--awesome!!!

 At the actual finish line.

Picture day at school.

Lulu got her recorder at school. All 3rd graders learn to play the recorder in music class.

 Lulu and I went for our last practice run before the 5K we are running. We ran around Como Lake.

We got a smoothie after our run.

Fun in the leaves.
