Party time!

Today was our last day to run together this spring.  It was a BLAST!!!  It was as much fun for us setting up the sprinklers, water balloons, water blasters, slip and slide, as for the kids to run the course in the 86 degree weather.



Everyone anxiously waiting to run through the sprinkler.
