Ready...Set...Go!!!!!!

In our house, we have this super long hallway that connects the entryway to the family room. It literally could double as a bowling lane. (Which we do use it as from time to time with the kids bowling set). It also makes for the perfect "track" for the kids to race each other down. I kid you not, every day these two start at one end of the hall, line up beside each other, yell "1, 2, 3...Ready, Set, Go!" at the top of their lungs, and run as fast as they can to the other end...laughing hysterically the whole way down! It is so fun to watch them, they literally do this over and over and over again, I don't know how they don't tucker out sooner!! Austin always wins of course, (maybe it's because Brooke always insists on wearing her fancy silver shoes instead of her sneaks?!), but she always manages to "keep up" with him, racing him until he decides it's time to quit!

"1, 2, 3...Ready, Set, Go!!!!"

And they're off! (Love Brooke's choice of running apparel!)

Austin wining the race in dramatic style...sliding past the finish line!

Brooke catching her breath...poor girl gets winded trying to keep up!

And back again!

"You may be faster than me brother...but I am stronger!"
No sore losers here, it's just Brooke tackling her brother at the other end of the finish line for fun!

Great strategy :-) If you make them run sprints, I'm sure they sleep better at night :-) Cute :-)
