We had a fun day at our Parish Festival again this year. After fear that my favorite part of the festival (the morning 5k to start it all off) was getting too small to continue offering it, I decided to step up and help with the planning of it to see if we couldn't liven it up a bit. Thanks to many awesome helpers, we had a great morning with music, food, a great DJ, prizes and even a kids obstacle course! Though still smaller than I would prefer, the turn out increased this year and we're hopeful that more will start to take part in this St. Matt's tradition!
One more run with my favorite boy by my side...
Making sure Bernie was ready to roll for the kids run and medal ceremony for the top finishers!
Bernie had quite the fan club...but he had to quickly lose them after the festivities as he definitely needed a drink of water after running a 5k in 80 degree weather. It ruff being a dog.
Then it was on to the carnival games! It seemed so strange now that Grace is a middle schooler and she was volunteering to help with the games instead of play them. Banking those service hours!
These 4th graders were loving the cake walk. They polished off an entire cake between the 5 of them...thank goodness the winner shared instead of keeping it all to herself!
Delicious lunch, music, friends and weather...what more could you ask for!
