Escape from Gardner Village

In August, Mom ran a 5K race with cousin Blake.  It was such a fun one.  Everyone started behind these gates and a big bell rang and all the runners ran through while people squirted us.  Throughout the course, there were other people that squirted us as well.

We actually did pretty well--Mom got first in age division, second overall.  The prize for first place--being dunked in the dunk tank!

 Blake won first overall--here he is right before he got dunked!
