Rock The Beach

This past weekend we went to Cannon Beach for their first annual walk/run called "Rock the Beach". It was a fund raiser for the children's community center. A big group of us signed up to do the Walk/Run and had a great time! You could choose from the 5K or 10K. The majority of us did the 10K and some did the 5 K. It was a tough walk/run, especially because I was not used to fast walking on the sand...and we could not find real hard sand to walk on. The beach was covered in little jelly fish too which we were slipping and sliding on. The 10K was 3 miles on the beach and 3 miles on the road. The 5k was all on the beach. It was PERFECT weather for the event...actually it was a little warm.

My neighbor, and friend, Teresa, and I took all of our girls down the night before and had fun girl time playing on the beach and getting ice cream in town. My sister Cait and friend Tracy joined us in the evening. Bry ended up having to work and came down on Sunday with our neighbor Kieron and son Aiden (Aiden actually did the 5K! What a little trooper!) My parents came down on Sunday too. My Mom so nicely stayed with the girls at the beach house while we participated in the event. They were able to watch us go by and cheer us on down on the beach. My Dad came down (with Mom) and he ran in the race too. What a fun weekend with friends and family! :)
