Color Blaze Fun

Our family had a fun time running in the Color Blaze 5k with friends in early May.  This is a race where you are encouraged to wear all white, and then a colored powder is thrown or sprayed on the runners throughout the race.  Luckily, the powder showers off with no problem!

Here is the kids' before picture.

 Olivia and Ethan before the race.

 Olivia and Ethan running the 5k together.  Poor Ethan fell TWICE within the first five minutes of the race which resulted in very badly scraped knees.  He was able to walk about half of the race, and I had to carry him for some of that (he is getting a bit big for that!). 

Joe and the kids running through one of the "blazes" - Ethan managed to do this even though his poor knees were so scraped and bloody.

Kate with friends after the race.  We have been friends for ten years and this is our second Color Blaze.

The kids' after picture - yikes!

Our very colorful family.
