The Bridge Fest 2009







Yesterday was the 17th annual Bridge Fest! It's a 5K run/walk over the bridge that connects Kingwood and Atascocita. It was a beautiful sunny day-low 70's- for the walk. It was the first time both Ken and Valerie went (Avery stayed home... just because we didn't have a jogging stroller for three!) It was the third time we participated -Ken's first time was when he was 3 months old! We actually walked the whole 5K this time (not like the Jingle Bell Walk where we turned around before the halfway point). Somehow we ended up almost in last place , but we had a relaxing walk...talking, people and scenery watching and of course laughing. After the walk there is a golf ball drop . They took 1000 golf balls that people had "bought" and then dropped them out of a helicopter- the ball closest to the flag wins the grand prize, but there are lots of other prizes. We didn't win anything! We're looking forward to next year's walk so we can take Avery and enjoy the day with our whole family.
