I decided that if we have done something two years in a row it is now a family tradition. This is the case with the 4th of July. This year again we ran in a race in the morning, went swimming and then came back to our house for some good food and fireworks. It was such a great day. Their were 18 of us total that ran in a race, Dan ran a 10k in 58 minutes and I walked ran the 5k since I didn't really get to train. This year we ran the race down in Laguna Niguel at these beautiful parks it was so nice and right near the beach which helped keep the temperature cooler. They also had kid races so Christian ran 1/2 mile for his race and Ryan ran 50 meters. Ryan's race was first and he was a little hesitant about running but once he saw the other kids running he took off really fast but fell. Luckily he got back up and still came in second place it was so much fun. For Christian's race they had to run 2 laps around the park, he did a really great job and didn't walk any of it. Ryan loved running so much he actually joined the older kids for the second half of their race. The kids all got these really nice medals for running. So I decided that every year we will try to attend some sort of race on the 4th.
It was really cute they were singing the National Anthem before Ryan's race and he put his hand over his heart.
Thanks Nick and Cris for another great firework show, unfortunately Ryan was totally afraid of them and spent the whole night in the house with Nico and Andrew watching Star Wars! Maybe next year he won't be as scared.
For some reason Christian was dancing the Irish jig :)
