Yesterday, the whole family did a charity walk for our friends’ daughter (I’ve mentioned her before – she’s the daughter of Ricky’s piano teacher). Kevin and I opted to not run the 5k since we’d have all four boys with us – it was a good choice.
And I guess saying the whole family walked isn’t really true – Ricky and Billy rode their scooters and Rusty and Tommy started on their scooters but it took them so long to just get to the starting line that I scooped them up and stuck them in the stroller. So they rode.
The boys enjoyed that we were going to be in a race … just like the Olympics! Ricky was a bit nervous because he didn’t think he could win. When I informed him that we weren’t even trying to win, he got really confused. “Then why are we in the race?” I’m not sure he bought my answer, “Because it is fun, son!”
It WAS fun!
