Swift Creek Fun Run and 5K April 28, 2012

Posted By on April 28, 2012

This was a WONDERFUL DAY of fun.  We had the FIRST ANNUAL Fun Run and 5K at Swift Creek Elementary School this morning.  It was especially fun for me because we had three generations of participants from my family in the race…..me (sao – the one with the white hair) …..my DD, Christi,  and three of my grandangels, Leanna, Sarah, and Cooper!

Three Generations of 5K participants

 

The festivities were perfect – kudos to the planners and volunteers….we even had a DJ and Chris Jones was our announcer!  Here they are with my SIL Greg Epps – the course marshall (I don’t know if that was his title….in fact I just made that up so it probably wasn’t his title – in fact,  I am not even SURE that he had a title!)   I do know that he worked hard on setting the course and taking care of other things.  He held the megaphone and said READY SET GO….. :)

The Announcer, Greg, and THE DJ!

 

Thank you to our sponsors!

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT – we had a GUEST COW at the RACE – with Mr. Sthreshley!

Mr. S. and the EAT MORE CHIKIN COW!

 

We had SO MUCH FUN watching some of the students get to put PIES IN THE FACES of some of the teachers and principals!  They bought tickets that were randomly selected to see who got the honor.  OH MY WAS THAT FANTASTIC!  (They were whipped cream pies – so hopefully it was a little bit tasty for the VERY SPECIAL TEACHER/PRINCIPAL volunteers!)  

Mrs. Radtke looks ready…..

Ready for the pie in the face fun!

 

Do you think that Mrs. Biddle, Mr. Fillman, Mrs. Radtke, and Mr. Herd look calm, cool, and collected?

READY FOR THE PIES?

This has to make you smile!

 

We had the FUN RUN FIRST…….one mile – 8 times around the track!

Ready for the fun run!

Dr. Bechtel came for the fun!

Mr. S. and Mrs. Phillips are ready for another round of PIE IN THE FACE FUN!

 This time Mrs. Little, Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Innes, and Mr. S were the great recipients of the pie-in-the-face fun!

Is this fun or what!!!!

 

I took lots more pictures and I am going to post all of them right here – I hope you enjoy the pictures!!!!

 

Thank you to my grandangel, Cooper, for being my running partner today!

YES  - you did see Mr. Clicker in the pictures…..he did the entire 5K on my shoe!  For those of you who do not know, Mr. Clicker is the little orange and green man on my shoe.  He goes to school with me EVERY DAY……I use his CLICK instead of a BELL.  The students seem to enjoy it –  and they also like the fact that Mr. Clicker speaks French to them.  :)

Several students came up to ask about Mr. Clicker....yes he was there!
