Dash Down Greenville......

6:45 a.m.....ready to run??!!

For a few months now Rouse has been saying he was going to run a 5k, and he accomplished his goal on St Patty's Day!! He and his friend Robert decided to sign up for the Dash Down Greenville and both made their 5k debut! We were very proud of the guys and had a great time cheering them on!

Candice (Robert's wife) had the brilliant idea to take the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) from Plano down to Greenville Ave, instead of fighting traffic and dealing with parking! This was THE BEST IDEA EVER!! I have to admit, I was a little nervous about getting on the DART by myself (Rouse took an earlier train) with the boys, stroller, and all our gear, but it was SUPER easy and so convenient! We might become DART regulars!! Anyway, we loaded the train and enjoyed the the ride down town! The sea of green was wonderful and people were ready to celebrate! We arrived just as the race was starting, found a great spot to cheer on the runners as they sprinted to the finish line, and were determined to find Rouse and Robert in a crowd of 8,000 runners ALL wearing green!!

The boys were so proud of their daddy! 

Taking the DART back to Plano! 

Mr. Cheese Face loved the train ride! 

Congrats guys on your first race!! We are all very proud of your accomplishment!!

Unfortunately, we couldn't hang around for the St. Patrick's Day parade.  Keagan had a soccer game at noon. We did get a little glimpse of the floats while on the train ride home and it looked like tons of fun! Hopefully next year we can hang around a party it up! Cheers to a fantastic 2012 St. Patty's Day!!
