Monkey Race



I was finishing dinner with two mom friends when I heard the craziest laughter coming from the front yard. And a bunch of 30 somethings huffing and puffing. We jumped up to see what was going on. All five dads were racing the kids on tricycles around a makeshift track with orange cones. The kids gasped and giggled. Time of their lives! It was obvious the dads were having too much fun with this. The scene grew hilariously competitive, but the kids wouldn't stop for anything. "GO" "GO" "GO!" When the daddys finally brought the race to an end, the cuties talked us mommys into another lap or two... or 12.
