Starlight, Stars Bright!


     The stars were out this past weekend with sneakers laced, capes adjusted, bibs pinned and adrenaline flowing.  Thousands of Oregonians gathered this weekend for a Starlit race full of costumes, kids, crowds and competition.  The high school football field was filled with runners, dressed as...you name it.  Giant birds, sharks, Dorothy & Toto, The Energizer Bunny, Wonder Woman, ninjas, funny looking purple hair people and more filled the stadium.  Found in the middle of it all were five super heroes and one Mind Craft Man.  Their names were, Weather Girl, Dinosaur Girl, Wolf Boy, Animal       Girl, Volcano Boy &  Steve.  Yes, these fearless Super cousins handmade their sheet capes of wonder.  Each originating from his or her own design, "super"vised by loving uncles, aunts, moms and dads.
Magnificence to say the least.  


     Now endowed with powers of nature, the fearless runners were ready to fly through the streets of downtown Portland, zapping any signs of fatigue or discomfort.  Their mission was to complete a 3 mile trek with daddies and uncles in tow.  Bright and sweaty as the noon day sun, these shining stars exemplified valor, courage, joy and triumph by placing one foot in front of the other.  With words of encouragement from uncles, dads, moms and a crowd of over 100,000 people, the Super Cousins crossed the finish line with a sighs of SUPER HUMANNESS!





Filling our lives with good...Great Times.

Priceless!
