Run, Grady, Run!

Today was the Marine Mammal Center's Race for the Seals and we participated in the two mile run/walk/chat-it-up-the-hill-with-strangers extravaganza!  G made signage, befriended a little guy along the way and LOVED being apart of this event.  Super family-friendly and lots of fun was had raising funds for the rehabilitation of harbor seals, sea otters and elephant seals.

We finished the two-mile course in approximately 40 minutes, all the while G leading the way and reciting factoids about seals to anyone that would listen and planning his seal adoption in April on his birthday.  Tons of literature for his brochure bag (currently overflowing in his room with lots of random info on marine life, bird rescue, canine companions and the like).

The day before this event it rained from the time we woke up until the time our heads hit the pillow.  However, race day proved sunny & glorious.  Sunshine, friends at the event and valuable family time.  Can't wait until next year.
