Kids 1K Fun Run/Walk

Our pediatric office was having a fund raiser for the Intermountain Pediatric Clinic's Reach out and Read program through which every child receives a free book at their Well Child check. I thought it was a great way to donate our money towards this great cause, show the girls the importance of exercise and a fun activity for our family to do...even though it required us to get up, ready, and out the door by 9:00 on a Saturday morning. :) It was held at Layton Commons Park (the Duck Park as we like to call it) and it was held right after the Layton Classics awards ceremony. The 1K run was pretty much around the perimeter of the park, but our girls did great. I was trying to keep up with Ellie the whole time as she did not stop once. Ashlan and Caitlin stayed up front and beat all of us! As we went through the finish line they handed out little medals for the kids. It was very cute.

They had little booths of face painting, pottery, and other fun things for the kids. It was great to see our Dr. and nurses there and to realize that they have a social life too. :) We walked around to the other side of the park where they had the rest of the fair booths and activities, but decided we were too cheap and headed home.
