Temple Run

Now that the Kansas City temple is nearly completed on the outside they held a 5K walk/run on Saturday the 23. We thought it would be a great way to get active with the kids and go see the new temple.

Derek and Allee ran together about half way when Allee found her friend MaKenna. Derek ended up running the second half by himself with a time of 36 minutes, not too shabby considering he was running with Allee.

Pierce and I were the walkers. I pushed him in the stroller most of it, but made him get out and walk the last 1/8 mile and cross the finish line himself. He loved it. Missionaries were on either side of the finish line telling him he was the winner, and he completely believed them. I kept saying just a little further and he would reply, "No Mom, I already winned." Pierce and I clocked in at 58 minutes.

It was so awesome to do this together as a family. It was completely inspiring to see the temple and watch the workers. We are so excited to have a temple only a 1 1/2 hours away. Here's to many more temple runs!
