Grahamsville Gallop '09
















Dylan has been asking for months when the Grahamsville Gallop was going to happen this year. Stephen and I enjoy the Gallop because it is hysterical watching these little ones run on the track. Some kids don't get past the starting line but then there are kids like mine who freak out a little bit, but manage to finish the race. Brynn was apprehensive at first and started screaming and crying at the start line but she finished the race and came in 4th place and got a cute metal. She wasn't very photogenic after the race but I did manage to snap a pic of her prior to the races beginning...(FYI...next year Brynn and Emme are in the SAME exact race...should make for an interesting ride home...)

Dylan kept saying all week that he was going to run faster than fast and get a trophy to add to his collection. We kept reminding him that it was important to run and FINISH the race, more than how big his trophy was going to be IF he even got a trophy. Well he gave it his all, and started crying half way through the race because he saw a kid ahead of him, which happens to be one of his friends. He was devistated because he didn't win BUT on the ride home we told him how proud we were that he finished and he finally said that he LOVED his trophy and can't wait until next year...oh brother!
