Bubble Run 2014

On a sunny Saturday morning in August, our crew plus GG and Grandpa headed out to Westford (one town over) for the Bubble Run.  Finley's love of sports stems to running races and since the last one in May, he's been ready for another  It was about a 1/3 of the way around the track with other kiddos who were 4 and 5.  Dan took Finley to the starting line while GG and Grandpa were in the middle and Dagny and I were at the finish line.

First, they stretched.

 Then, they waited for the race to begin.
On your marks, get set, GO!
 Once he came into view, Dagny and I were yelling for him and jumping up and down.
 Love the smile he was wearing as he zoomed by!
 Ah, finally, some bubbles!!
 There he goes into second place and the local newspaper's photographer getting the money shot.
We eagerly shared Finley's name and age, both of which got printed correctly, but too bad he forgot to write down we live in Acton not the race's hometown of Westford!  
Follow the link and look at the last picture in the series.

A week later, we hunted down a paper copy of The Westford Eagle and Finley was beyond excited to himself in print!! His reaction was truly priceless and just as exhilarating as running the race I think!!

And don't worry, Dagny had fun at the race too - there were bubbles after all :)
