Kate's First Race

The girls and I volunteered with Hands On at a Baby and Children's expo. I thought the girls would like all the activities for kids and free food. We were there two minutes and Grace had a snow cone, ice cream and a balloon! We finally got to our booth and we were having a good time with Ms. Candi and Mr. Bob when the Barber's cow, who was about 200 yards away, was spotted by Grace...Game over for Grace :(Mr. Bob was awesome trying to distract Grace although it took several hours for her to settle down. The only thing that turned her around was the big race!Kate had been finding lots of things to keep her busy- most of which got her in trouble :)Next to our booth was the diaper derby and we decided to enter Kate for her first race! (sorry these pictures aren't the best, I didn't realize this was a camera event, these are from my phone)That picture could have been taken at any point during the first few minutes since this is where she stayed... Bob, Grace and I did everything we could to get her to come to us but the only thing that worked was this little boy who came back after finishing his race to get her..About 5 minutes into the 20 second race Grace stepped in to give her a little pep talkAlmost there...Yeh! Great job Kate! 10 minutes!
