Ran a mile and a half with my three oldest kiddos on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. This was their first trail run. They loved it.

Evan, who is 4, also wanted to run. I told him that I would run with him when I got back. When I headed out with Evan it was just starting to rain. I asked if he wanted to run in the rain and he said "Yes." We drove to the park. By the time we got there it was pouring. I asked him if he wanted to wait until tomorrow. He said "No, I want to run now." So we got out and ran on the sidewalk around the playground. We got completely soaked. I asked "Should we get in the car?" He responds "That wasn't very long." So we continue to run around the playground. On the third lap it started hailing. I asked again, "Should we get in the car?" He says "Let's do one more." So we ended up with four laps and got drenched. I think Evan is going to be a die hard runner. It makes me so proud.

OH, I love it! Evan sounds like my little 4 yr old Jake! Kids are so much fun! What a bunch of troopers you have! Sounds like one of the best double runs all summer!
