Most of the day felt like we were moving non-stop. In the morning, we had signed up for a 10K and in the afternoon, we scheduled Evan's birthday party. We got up early this morning, around the same time that we do for school, to get to the 10K. We left the house around 7am and found parking up South Congress near Home Slice. We then walked to the start line.
All four of us ran the first mile. At that point, Rachel and Evan continued running and Noah wanted to walk. Rachel and Evan ran almost the whole time and finished the race in 1:15 for just under a 12 minute mile. Noah wanted to run on the downhill and walk the uphill. If it was flat, he would decide whether he felt like walking. I don't know what our time was exactly but I think we finished about 15 to 20 minutes behind Rachel and Evan.
We had a meeting spot after the race. Then we walked back to our car. We stopped at HEB on the way home to pick up the cookie cakes we ordered for Evan's birthday. One of them had the Villanova logo on them.
We came home, showered, ate and then drove to the location for Evan's party. It was a big warehouse with wall-to-wall astroturf. They provided someone to organize a flag football game.
All the kids played football for the first hour. Fourteen of Evan's friends were there. Also there were four siblings who played too. Then we went and had cake. We came down and the kids played dodgeball. The one game ended with Noah the last one left on his team. Unfortunately, he could not pull off a miracle. Then it was kids vs adults for dodgeball. The kids demolished us. I don't understand how that happened. I thought for sure we'd kill them. But they were smaller and much more nimble.
Many of the kids didn't want to leave the party. It was a nice time.
When we came home, we had to do our Sunday routine. Rachel made lunches and I dealt with the litter and recycling.
We had leftovers for dinner.
The boys are getting ready for bed.
Until next time...
