My Lamb Day posts are always filled with pics of Bailee and her lamb and the lamb show. That is what has consumed our lamb days for many years.
Lamb Day was very different for us this year. We usually are showing a lamb in the lamb show and we spend all summer walking that lamb and getting ready to show it, then come actual lamb day we are up at 5 am. washing that lamb and getting it beautiful along with Bailee to show. Then we have to be at the park for weigh ins and our whole lamb day is consumed by that lamb show. This year we opted out of the lamb show and therfore did not know quite what to do with ourselves and our extra time. But I will say that it was a very needed rest.
So Bailee decided to run the fun run since she did not have a lamb to get ready. They drive them out of town and they run a 5K back to the park and end there. She ran it with her cute friend Hallie and they had a blast. It started a love for running with her that she still has today. I am pretty sure that the Lamb Day 5K will be her new tradition. So this post of Lamb Day is pics of a runner instead of a lamb...lol
Coming into the finish line...
Dying as soon as she crossed it...
But...she surprisingly took 2nd place...She was so proud of herself!
Her and Hallie posing for a picture...
As soon as all the runners get back to the park we start the day off with a flag ceremony and they hang the flag. I have to admit I have never been to the park early enough to actually witness this occur until this year. I loved that they brought the boys and the flags in on a hours drawn wagon. It was fun to watch. This is my 15th Lamb Day and my first flag ceremony. I guess I will see many more if Bailee is going to keep running.
Then onto the parade. Bailee rode on the fire truck with her softball team this year.
And that is all the pics I took of Lamb Day 2012. I was a big slacker and will try to document better next year. I was just so happy to have a nice relaxing day that I did not care about anything.
