Crossway Mile

Our church holds an annual event called the "Crossway Mile".  It's an organized mile race on our church property.  It's so much fun, one of my favorite things our church does together.  My kids have varying degrees of love for the event.  Greta was the most excited, this was her first year.  Aaron did not want to run this year.  If he was older we would have made him, but we decided to let him sit it out.  Well, 10 minutes before the race was to start he changed his mind.  Steve ran together with the 2 of them.

There has always been a bit of competition between Claudia and Morgan in this race.  Much to Claudia's dismay, Morgan has beat her the last 2 years.  Morgan was not wanting to run this year, Steve was having to do some serious "motivating" even at the starting line.  She did not have a good start and b/c of that Claudia was ahead of her the whole race.  Towards the end, Morgan spotted Claudia and decided she would not let her win.  It was a sprint to the finish.  Thanks, Geoff Sensenig for capturing this moment so perfectly!!  Unfortunately for Claudia, she was again beaten by her little sis!!  So close!!
