Yesterday, the Pumpkin Noodle did her first ever "race"! It was a 1.4-mile beach obstacle race, family friendly. Our team name: What Rhymes with Purple? because 1) she loves purple and 2) she's five and is into rhyming right now.
She wanted to wear her favorite purple tutu dress and I got into the spirit with a variation on the theme. (Note: Probably the first and last time I wear a tutu - ok, who am I kidding? Chances are good she'll ask me to wear one again.)
We had a blast!

| Wave #11, ready - they let the Noodle up front; she was excited about that.... |
 |
| ....so much so that she took off at the signal.... |
 |
| ...like a rabbit! I was charging after her for a good 250 yds! |

| Medals! She wore hers for the next two hours and then brought it to school today. |
