Last weekend our family participated in the Phoenix Color Fun Fest 5K and it was such a blast! It was the first race we’ve ever ran together as a family and it was such a positive experience for all of us! The race itself was a lot of fun, but working towards our running goal as a family was invaluable!
We’d been looking forward to this family-friendly event for weeks and the kids were working so hard to get ready for the race! Their school recently started a running club that the three oldest have been involved in and they love it! They have over 75+ kids participating in Running Club and they get together twice a week to run laps and earn these fun foot charms as they reach certain running milestones.
Running Club is coming to an end this week and participating in the Phoenix Color Fun Fest 5k was such a positive note to end with! The staff made the race so fun and exciting! It was an event the whole family loved and will remember for years! Running together and seeing my kiddos cheering eachother on was the best thing ever! I’m so glad I was able to get some fun photos with my phone as we ran. The crazy coloured powder was of course the best part, but it definitely wouldn’t have been best for my big camera. I have a LifeProof case that has protected my phone on all kinds of outdoor adventures, I couldn’t live without it!
This was such an awesome experience and if we have the opportunity, we’ll most definitely run in the Color Fun Fest again! Check out all the other cities on the Color Fun Fest 2014 tour!

A little excerpt from my 6 year olds kindergarten journal this past week. One of the first things she wanted to write about after heading back to school from spring break was the Color Fun Fest of course!

Fun! I know some photographers who were hired to photograph the Denver race and had some bad experiences with their big cameras + dust, true story on that one. Running club sounds like fun : )
