Carter's Fun Run!!

Hi everyone! This week Carter participated in his first organized fun run! It was a fundraiser for his elementary - Carter did a great job raising money that will go toward building a new STEM lab for his school. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math - he has already said "Mom is there STEM today?? Science is my favorite!" Aaaah, he's truly the son of two enginerds. :-) Here are some photos from the day...

Getting ready to introduce the teams...


And here comes Carter and the Hummingbirds!! (The name of his kindergarten class is Mrs. Hinz's Hummingbirds) :-)


Getting the kids warmed up and ready... this is all of the kindergarten & 1st graders in the school. The other grades ran after them.


Go Carter Go!!!


Turns out my boy is a tongue-sticker-outer when he runs!


I had him stop mid-stream for a photo - seconds later another kid crashed into him - good move, mom!


Little sister cheering for big brother...


All done!! Very sweaty after running so hard! He did great, ran hard the entire time (with a few water breaks!) and got done before many of the kids.


Showing off his completed tshirt - they marked off the laps as he ran around. He did the maximum 35 for pledges, and then threw in a few more on top of it...


Great job Carter!! And a huge thanks to those who pledged!! Carter's class is in first place out of the entire school!!!
