Color Vibe 5k

This past weekend was so much fun! A couple weeks ago, one of my friend had asked me if we wanted to do the color run with her and her family. I was so excited when she had asked me because 1) I thought it was already over and 2) I didn't think that we could run it with Liam with us. But when she told me that we were allowed to run it with our kiddos, it got me even more excited! I've always wanted to do the color run so I'm glad that we were able to experience it this past weekend, especially with Liam too =)

The race started bright & early... at 9am! If you know me, then you know that I'm def. not a morning person and this is extremely early for me lol. But it was Liam that had a harder time waking up than me haha But once he was up and going, he was so excited for the color run.


The morning of the race, we woke up to no water in our house because of a water main break. Thank goodness we had some bottle waters so that we could brush our teeth and wash our face. Then we loaded the car and headed to Little Rock with our friend and her family. The excitement of the race and the fun atmosphere there made waking up at the crack of dawn not so bad. 




Liam's excitement came to an end as soon as he got hit with some color chalk lol. He does not like to get messy so when the chalk hit his leg, he freaked out lol. I had to give him some "magic sunglasses" that will keep the chalk away from him. Here he is pouting in the stroller while wearing his magic glasses. lol


Poor Jay had to run around each check point with Liam so that the chalk wouldn't get to him lol. About halfway through the course, all Liam wanted to do was hold my hand so we ended up walking the rest of the way, which I didn't mind either bc I was getting tired anyways ;) lol It was still a fun experience. 




the aftermath






After the race, we grabbed some lunch and headed back home to shower. Only to find out that our water was STILL out! So we were stuck with all this chalk on us for a couple of hours. We ended up shaving CoCo (our dog) since we didn't have anything else to do lol. I think we did a pretty good job for our first time haha plus we saved about $50! ;) When the water finally came back on, we all showered and got cleaned. Then we prepped some foods and went over to our friend's house for a cookout.

Perfect way to end our fun day! =)
