National Arboretum Family 5k




I am always keeping an eye out for family fun things to do around the DC area and last weekend we were at the National Arboretum hiking and I saw a flyer for a family 5k supporting Girls on the Run- a nonprofit organization for middle school aged girls to get them involved in sports and build self-esteem- a worthy cause, no doubt. So I signed up Ben and myself and thought the boys would love being part of the race too. So we packed up the double BOB and headed out this morning in the pouring ran to do the 5k. Although the weather was horrible, we still had a great time, got to see amazing fall foliage and supported a good cause. Everett kept himself amused with all the other runners and Rollin just snoozed the race away. We had a great time! Here are some pictures of the boys first family running race, and hopefully more to come in the following years.
