Hailey has been telling Brady for the past two days that she can run faster than he can and has let him know this several times apparently. So yesterday, they went out in the backyard and had a race. They started out doing some exercises to warm up their muscles.  I put up a crepe paper finish line between two trees for the finish line. Brady asked me if he should really win and I said, "Yes, but not too bad." She finally agreed that yes indeed her dad could run faster. Hunter even joined in but he didn't get too far before they were finished. They had a second race though which she won and Brady ran carrying Hunter. She was pretty happy about her win and they both agreed that probably someday she really could run faster that he could!

I tried to take two videos at the same time of the event. I got it successfully taped onto our digital camcorder but forgot to push the record button on my  little digital camera. Would have been a funny video to post! Here are the pre-event stretching pictures. I don't think I ever said that to my dad. Hailey is beginning to challenge us now with stuff "she can do better" -  Guess I will need to be on my toes for a long time. I did prove to her I could do a somersault. My head was spinning afterward but I did do one! Kids are funny.

* I happened to catch them in between stretching. It looks like they both are struggling but that wasn't the case.
