Go Bluebonnets!

This weekend is the annual Emma Creek Classic, women's 5k walk and run here in Hesston. For the second year in a row the girls of my family along with Kelly's mom and sister have gotten together to form a team. Their team is called the "Bluebonnets" because they all have close ties to Texas - and the Bluebonnet is the Texas state flower.

Kelly bettered her time this year by about 3 minutes. Way to go Kelly!

Gracie was the slow-poke of the group. Gail agreed to be Gracie's companion for the race. I am proud to say that out of 898 racers, they weren't last. (I think there were two or three behind them). Good job, Gracie.
