After our crazy morning photo shoot, things were tired and tense at the house. We had lunch, then napped, and then woke up hurried over to the Mountain Goat Run with the Mississippi Hites. Everyone else was too annoyed and too mad to attempt it.

We arrived as the kids started to run.

Karl dropped us off to join the group and he parked the car.

The kids were excited to run for about…5 minutes.

The would get up their energy, and then give up again.

Karl caught up to us. And gave Luke a much wanted ride.

The Mississippi Hites were holding up a bit better than us.

Half way there…

We got to another hill and the kids thought that they would push!

 

Ethan and I ran up way ahead of the rest!

Then Lucas went on the ground acting like a little goat, since it was the Mountain Goat race.

Then up another hill, the kids getting whinier.

But the view from the top of the hill…it was worth the hike up.

 

Coming down Mirah and Sawyer ran ahead, determined to win the race.

Leaving me and Karl to take turn s carrying this guy.

He did however have enough energy to run to the finish line!

The kids with their numbers and finishers frisbys.

Glad we did it.
