It’s finally the weekend and after a very long and rainy week, Saturday dawned the same way — dreary with the possibility of rain. I was disappointed as we had been planning to participate in Raytheon’s, um, I mean Hawker Beechcraft’s (they were bought officially as of Monday, March 26th), Runway Run and Health and Fitness Fair. We decided to brave the windy weather and headed to the runway. We did this last year too and the kiddos loved it. Today, Ken managed to run the whole way with a great time. Jocelyn trotted along beside my mother, who’s quite the fast speedwalker. My Dad and Taylor stayed together for the most part. Wesley was attached to my arm in the hopes that he wouldn’t get blown down the runway! Mom and Dad were pleasantly surprised when they were told they had won 2nd place in their age group!
After the race we headed inside for free healthy snacks like bananas, oranges, and apples with bottled water, compliments of GMAC Mortgage. We joined the lines of people going up and down the rows of tables collecting freebies and health information. Armed with our bags, we collected pencils, pens, notepads, candy (what, healthy?!), and any other giveaways. Hawker Beechcraft also provided bouncy castles and games for the kids although the ones for outdoors couldn’t be put up due to the windy weather. Lunch was also provided. Later in the afternoon there was an Easter Egg Hunt and pictures with the Bunny. We didn’t stay around for the Easter Egg Hunt but my parents took Jocelyn and Wesley. They came back with a ridiculous amount of candy. Who says we need the Bunny to visit us next week? They’ll be on a sugar high all week as it is anyway!
I am, however, off all of the next week! Any suggestions as to how to keep a 10, 7, and 4-1/2 year old occupied all week without killing each other? If so, let me know!
