Action Adventure Weekend



s


It was a busy weekend.

Saturday May 1st, Morgan went to a birthday party at Boulder Indoor Cycle Sports. It's an indoor bike track with a mountain bike technical course in the middle. They biked around the track for about 20 min then moved onto the mountain bike course. Crashes ensued! Eventually about 3/4 of the kids (Morgan included) ditched their bikes and had a blast running around on the mountain bike course. They were all a bit too young for the place but in a few years it will be a fun option in the winter. It was fun watching them all tear around on their mini bikes though. Morgan is the kid with the skull/bones helmet.

On Sunday May 2, Doug did a 5K Rockies Run in Denver. He finished at Coors Field. The kids and I met him afterward so Morgan could participate in the kids fun run. His first "race". It was a 1K run around the warning track at Coors Field. We planned on meeting friends Eva (5) and Jasper (almost 2) who live in Denver. But, as an added bonus, Doug ran into neighbors Patty, Dwight, Megan (5), and Andrew (almost 2). Morgan and Megan "raced" together. For participating he got two tickets to a weekday Rockies home game and a Rockies hat. Kudos to Patty though. She pushed 75 lbs worth of kids and stroller in the 5K race.

In my typical frazzled, busy mom state, I forgot my camera for both events. The above photos are off my phone so the quality isn't that great. Oh well. I did manage to save the day for Patty who brought her camera with a dead battery! If you look at the race shot, you can see Megan and Morgan in the upper/left. Look for the girl in the pink pants and the boy in the blue, fleece vest. Dwight and Doug are running behind them.

Yes, I know, the quality is sad....it was his first race though and I tried to document it!
