For the second year now, I walked the 4 blocks up the hill to the Carillon (WWII Memorial) in Byrd Park to take pictures of the children's races that make up "Ruby's Run". This year, I convinced Willem (my almost-6-year-old) to participate. As it turned out, there were a couple of kids he knew also running, so I didn't really have to monitor him beyond being able to see where he was.
The races were pretty low-key and haphazardly put together, but the kids all seemed to enjoy themselves. Other than raising money ahead of time, there is only a $5 fee - and the kids get a T-shirt and medal for running.
I feel like this year's photos were much better than last, but having Willem run kept me from taking quite as many shots as I would have usually managed. My only regret was that last year - it seemed - the fall colors were much more vibrant.
