Family Fun Run

Tanner is a member of the Idaho Falls Swim Team (IFST), the Piranha's.  He loves it and is learning so much!!!  As a 'team mom', I'm also learning a lot...like how to be a mom, and not a coach, and how to be supportive without nagging, and how to be more involved in the community, instead of just watching things happen around me.  He has the most amazing coach, Coach Denise, who was also my coach when I went to Western Zones in Hawaii, nearly 10 years ago!  We have missed her dearly since she's been away helping her son who was in a horrible motorcycle accident, and can't wait for her to get back in the water with Tanner!

Saturday was a Family Fun Run put on by the Eastern Idaho Public Health Department, promoting Miss Idaho Falls's platform of eating healthy and being fit.  It was a great opportunity for the Swim Team to get out and get some publicity, hence the video link below:

Some of the mom's also got some cute pictures of the little kids that were there before it started, and snapped this awesome shot...

You can see me in the background, helping Taylor with his 5-sizes-too-big-tee-shirt.  :)

We were excited to see our friends, the Waite Family, and they even won two raffle items!!!

Tanner was pretty crushed he didn't win a thing...he had his heart set on the pink girl's bike for my little sister (she's much too tall for the small bike, but it was pink, and he wanted her to have it!), or more importantly, the TRAMPOLINE!!!!!  His fellow 4-year-old swim buddy, on the far left in the picture, actually won the trampoline...which brought a thirty-minute bout of tears...

Regardless of the tears, we had some good fun at the Family Fun Run!

What is YOUR FAMILY doing for fun this summer to stay healthy and keep fit???
