As seems to always be the case lately we ran another Rye Derby with no practice. Even though Eason has been running track in school, none of us prepared at all for a 5k. Eason decided going in that he was going to take it easy. He finished in ~28 min, which is faster than our last derby, but a couple of minutes slower than our last 5k. I ran with Andrea, and I was really proud of her. She was having a really hard time, but she never stopped and was able to sprint at the end. We came in at 36:14, which was a major improvement for her. Aviva also improved. Afterwards we had some fun at the post-derby festival.
Here were our times:

Andrea's 9th Birthday Party
We celebrated Andrea's birthday early. First we went to Sportime USA to play lazer tag, and ride the bumper cars and other rides. Then we went to lunch at The Cabin Restaurant. Then we went to see The Jungle Book. We had been reading the book, so we had lots to discuss afterwards. She said it was a great day.
