Bubble Run

 My boys have been wanting to do the bubble run. Charlie did it with us 4ish years ago and it was a little stressful .Especially when every little child is dressed the same and buried in bubbles and you lose a kid or two. (And we only had one kid with us last time!) But we decided to try it because we do like doing active things together! And we kept getting e-mails saying free registration so we officially signed up and realized nothing is free after all the fees and insurance...but whatevs! Anyway, we arrived and the price to park had doubled since last time, which was also annoying so I went into the run with a really bad attitude. haha. This free run cost our family over $50 dollars! ha, and as far as I can tell the proceeds didn't go toward any good cause, like many other runs. Ok, apparently I'm not over it.

It took us awhile to get to the starting line. But we eventually were able to start the run/walk. We jogged and stopped a whole bunch.

 

There were checkpoints with piles of bubbles where people would stop and take pictures and I'm pretty sure I plowed over a couple of hidden kids with the stroller since I wanted to take Edwin through quickly, (since the bubbles were over his head) 

Anyway, we made it! There was more walking than jogging in the end. And it was exciting because it was at the international raceway and they were racing motorbikes which the boys thought was great. At the end, the boys all got a medal and had fun playing in the bubbles.

And our cousins treated us to some shaved ice which Edwin felt he needed to feed me. haha!

His open mouth...hahaha

 Thanks to Lisa who took most of these pictures.

 But overall the boys seemed to have fun and we did enjoy being outside together in the perfect weather.

Maybe we'll just stick to our own free family bike rides and jogs followed by a bubble bath. That sounds like a better plan to me. ha!
