Okay so we did Bloomsday this year. For those of you who don't know it is one of the biggest races on the west coast with over 40,000 participants. So we ventured to Spokane early one morning to walk the 7.46 miles (something is definitely wrong with us). I have never done it before and wanted to experience it. We decided to bring the kids and push them in the strollers. That was the first mistake. You try to entertain 3 kids in a stroller for 2 hours while you walk. Luckily Cody fell asleep before we even started and slept most of the way. Ethan enjoyed most of it especially when we got into the residential areas and he got to get wet in sprinklers. Cooper, now that is another story. He started getting fusy about mile 3. Luckily he fell asleep til mile 6. Then he had enough of the stroller. So needless to say we carried him for the last 1.5 miles. That was an adventure in itself. We completed it in 2 hours 17 minutes. It was fun but I learned my lesson. I will not push a stroller in a race with that many people ever again. Go Bloomies!!!!

Hey Alain, You guys are so brave. I can't believe you took all the kids. I was laughing like crazy when you said you had to carry Cupper at the end. Good job though. You are awesome. I love the music with your blog. janell
Wow! What an undertaking!! Sounds like you got a much bigger workout than you bargained for:) Way to go:)
