Colors for Tessa Fundraiser

What a great idea for a fundraiser!  We ran a 5K to help raise money for a mom battling her 3rd fight with cancer.  The race was held at the American West Heritage Center, in Wellsville, Utah. It was called the Splash of COLOR 5K!  We all received T-shirts and a racers' bag of color to make the race even more colorful! Runners started the race wearing all white. As we made our way through the 3.1 mile course, we were blasted with handfuls of colored cornstarch by the race crew. We celebrated crossing the finish line by throwing even more color. 
At the COLOR Festival after the race we enjoyed lunch, music, concessions, a silent auction, raffle prizes, games, pony and train rides, and baby animals.  How can you go wrong with all that when you have two little ones?  The girls LOVED it!!
Here are some pics from the day:

The start of the race.  It was a wee bit chilly!
Nana brought the girls to watch mommy take off!
My cousin Robert Crockett brought his kids as well, to watch their mommy run

Time for the girls to get color splashed!!

Time for a pony ride!  The girls were ecstatic



Even a train ride!  Avril's favorite part was the tunnel







This was an incredible sight to see... an albino peacock!  Spectacular!
The Wellsville mountains... breathtaking!
