Fall Fest 5K Walk

This morning we walked in the DuPage Convalescent Center's annual Fall Fest, which features a 5K run/walk. Evie sat happily in the stroller, but Gavin was having none of that. He only let me carry him about 2 blocks and then he wanted to walk, so we just gave up and I walked with him at his pace while Francis and Grandpa Cermak finished the walk with Evie (rockin' an 18 minute mile). Gavin and I only walked about 3 blocks and then we headed back to see the rest of the Fall Festival.



Auntie Clare ran the race in 27 minutes. She's training for the marathon so this was no problem for her!



Clare won a medal for having the fastest time in her age group! Congratulations!




Gavin was so intrigued with the ambulance (which was on hand just in case) that the EMT's let us climb in!

Back at home, playtime before naps:

Gavin hung onto this bagel for about an hour but didn't eat much of it.

He was a good brother and shared it with Evie (who did eat it)!

Gavin played soccer with Auntie Clare and Grandpa:
