Our first big event was the 1st Annual Mahaffey Hoe Down to celebrate Go Texan day! This is one of my very favorite Texas traditions! Of course Keags and Rys both looked darling in their pink cowgirl gear! Riley participated with the 1st Graders and was SO excited! She did some dancing, had some great help from Mrs Akers and Ms Acosta and smiled and waved through the whole thing! Keagan seriously stole the show with all the 2nd graders! She danced at 150% and had the most fun there! The girl was born with rhythmn and sure knows how to break it down! Several other parents commented on her enthusiasm and called her the life of the party! I couldn't love them both any more and enjoyed joining each of them for the cha cha slide! They both had an amazing time with their friends and Keagan especially loved the partner dancing with her friend Brody! All of our favorite part was that Gramas came to watch and brought sweet LaBelle too!
After school we were on to our next big event! We didn't even go home first. With 45 other members of the Speedy Scotties, our running club at school, Keagan and Riley ran the Pathfinder 2K Family Fun run in conjunction with the Woodlands Marathon! They all did so as part of the Junior Marathoner program which meant their miles ran at running club counted towards running a marathon in miles! So once the girls completed the 2k they received the 2k medal AND the official Woodlands Marathon finisher medal! This was a big accomplishment for both girls and I was SO proud of them and inspired by both! I walked/jogged with Miss Riley and she gave it such a good effort! We had to wait quite some time to start the race after a seriously long day so Miss Riley was literally falling asleep waiting! But once we started she tried her very best. At one point she sat down on the curb and then a sweet race official came and said "she ran her race." She ended up conpleting 3/4 of the course and did it in style! Miss Keagan ran the entire way with her besties Lauren and Audrey along with Miss Krenek. I was SO proud of her awesome finish!
I gotta say, my two girls are pretty dang amazing! They amaze me all the time like when we walked to the car late Friday night and Keagan's Fitbit showed she had walked almost 26,000 steps and she was still skipping! I sure love them and loved our low key weekend after such an incredible but seriously exhausting Friday!
