Sunset Elementary Color Run

For a huge fundraiser the Sunset Elementary PTA put on a Color Run for the students and their families.  Of course we joined in on the fun.

We had so much fun running (or walking) around the track at the school and getting plastered with colored powder.  After 4 laps we completed the one mile course and came away very speckled.  Russell and Emily ran the whole way and totally got into it.  They had the most color on them.  I walked with the boys.  The boys didn't really like the powder but there was no avoiding it.  We got covered too.  Colby really just wanted to throw the powder at people so we stopped at a few placed and let him throw.  He loved it.  Russell and I did have quite a scare with Logan though.  Logan had gotten Pink powder thrown in his face and it made his eyes water a lot.  When Russell and I looked at his eyes, there was red all around them and it looked like they were bleeding!  We didn't know what to do but then we realized that his eyes were not bleeding they were just watering and turning the pink powder red.  I was so relieved.  

This was a fun family activity and one we will do again if the PTA does it next year.  (Next time we will remember glasses for everyone though!)

After the run, we had fun playing the carnival games.  Emily and Colby threw pies at the principal, went fishing for prizes, and won pops playing ring toss. 

At the end of the Color Run and carnival, each grade performed a song for us.  Emily's kindergarten class sang a song about colors.  It was so cute.  

After Emily performed, we rushed up to the Olsen's house for their annual neighborhood donut party.  They are the funnest family ever.  Each year they make homemade donuts for the entire neighborhood.  It is definitely a party when everyone gets together and the donuts are really good too!

I threw this picture in here too for fun.  We like going to Home Depot and building things on Saturdays.  This month Emily built a Wizard of Oz bird house and Colby and Logan built an ambulance car.  We always have fun building things together.
