The Race!

We awoke bright and early on Saturday morning and decked out in tiaras and all for the Disney 5K.  The theme was Beauty and the Beast this year.  There were over 2, 000 people and there is such an air of energy and excitement!  We took off and beat our time from last year by 3 minutes!  It was much warmer this year which was nice.  I love to see all the costumes and shirts that people wear.  There was a guy dressed as Snow White and his wife was Cinderella!  A mom was Maleficient and her two kids were knights.  People are very creative!  My favorite was a shirt and on the back it said, "Dear God, Please let there be someone behind me to read this."  That is a hoot and I am going to have to get me one of those!  Here are a few shots from the race.  I am to also add that Jemma graciously provided all the tiaras for us!

On the way to the race.  I just smiled for the picture.  I didn't take it as I was driving!  I swear!

Belle and the Beast waved to us as we started!

I love this picture as you can see all the runners going around.  Those people at the front are actually running for the most part.  I just stay back to get neat pictures!  You believe that, right?!?

There characters are there for photo ops as you go through the park.  I didn't stop this year, but Cinderella was coming out as we went by Snow White.  I would have waited for her had I known!  Yes, the woman dressed as Donald was a runner!

This is one of my favorite pictures during the race.  I loved all the flowers and that you could see the sphere behind us!

Here we are after the race with our medals!  Chris's aunt and her daughter also ran the race!

I am threatening to send this one to our hometown newspaper!

After the race, we went back to the condo and hit the bed for a quick nap and then spent the afternoon and evening at the pool!  I heard splashing and screaming, but I didn't care.  I knew my child wasn't there and I wasn't even going to open my eyes!  Oh the life of luxury!

That evening we went to a Japanese steak house and sat with a group of ladies who were running the half marathon.  We had a fun time where Dreama, who is allergic to shellfish, was called Picky Picky all night by the chef!  Then it was back to the hot tub until we got kicked out of it and to bed at 1:00 this night!  

Have I mentioned that I was having a blast?!?
