Last Saturday, the boys and I participated in a color run as a fundraiser for the band program at our schools. Basically, this is a run (5K) where at a few different points along the route, you get sprayed with colored water. Also, at the end, you get to douse yourself with colored chalk. What a great way to start your day (or end it, since I had worked the night before). The only true runners in our group were Marcus and Cale. Marcus actually came in first and Cale came in 4th. Their times are a mystery since no one was keeping track. I don't think Marcus even got to run through a finish line ribbon or anything. Just the satisfaction of a job well done will be his reward. Ewan finished in the middle and Liam and I came in a respectable not last. Anyway, I think the boys all had fun. Afterward, there was a dunk tank where Ewan sunk his future band director twice in a row with a powerful throw. Some snacks and social time wrapped up our time. Hope we get to do this again next year!
Before, all clean and crisp.
The aftermath. Some of them enjoyed the chalk more than others.
