Boosterthon Fun Run!

This morning Caleb participated in a fundraiser at his school called the "Fun Run." The school has been pumping these kids up all week for this big run. They have had to get money pledged per lap that they run and with each pledge that they get they recieve a prize. So, as prize oriented as Caleb is, he has been wanting to get pledges all week! He was able to get some pledges from us as well as each set of grandparents, so he was excited to run. Because of these pledges he earned a bracelet, a water bottle and a high bouncing ball. He was thrilled! The goal is to run 35 laps. His run was at 8:15 this morning, and even though it was bright and early, we didn't want to miss it!


The run was done in front of his school in a big field. Boosterthon really does it well and they were pumping the kids up with lots of fun music and games. It really was very entertaining to watch!


Here is Caleb lining up for his run:



And he's off!


This little boy loved watching every minute of it! Kathryn enjoyed it too!



Go Caleb Go!

Here he is almost to the finish line!




Even Kathryn got to run the last lap with him :)



Caleb ran a total of 42 laps!!! This is a little over 2 miles. I was VERY impressed!



He was one happy, hot and tired boy when his run was over!


This was a great fundraiser for the school and they raised a ton of money from it! The kids all seemed to love it too!
