Dadfest 2008

Yesterday, Chase got his first taste of what I hope will become an annual tradition for the two of us. Dadfest was held at Texas Stadium, and boy did we have fun! It was an early morning-left the house at 6:30. After registration, we went down to the field and I warmed up while Chase practiced for his own big race (some bearcrawling across the field). It was great to enjoy this day with my son by doing something that I pray one day he will enjoy doing as well. We ended up finishing the race with a time of 26 minutes 8 seconds-2nd PLACE! Unfortunately, due to some incorrect processing, we were not included in the Father-Son Team Category. But not all was lost, because after the 5k, Chase participated in the Diaper Dash and got 1st! Chase got a $100 gift certificate to Run On! and a $10 gift card to Target!! Not to bad for his first race (actually that is better than anything I have ever won)! He even met a few of the Cowboys' Cheerleaders.. We had a really great day, but Chase was definitely worn out by the end of it all!
Amanda was there taking all these great pics, and I could tell that she was a very proud mama this weekend :)
