5K Power Saunter!

Javan, Liz and I signed up for the 2nd Annual Run for Africa 5K from Children of the Nations. It was a run to help give money towards education to orphaned children in Africa. The race went well for us as we were proud to be the last group of people to finish! Here's the "rundown" on what happened. That's right...I just made the best pun ever.






It was a fine Saturday morning and everyone was ready to compete fanatically against each other.






.....but Javan and I were determined to win by using our secret weapons known as the headband.






Liz wanted to join us but we warned her that she would have to keep up with us. Javan and I only know how to run swiftly at blazing speeds throughout the course.






Javan was quite impressed with her effort.....






.....and she quickly found a good pace to run along with us.






However, I had to catch my breath after fleeing off in a mad dash and Liz caught up to make sure I was okay.






Then we decided it was too hot to run, so we did the next logical thing...POWER SAUNTER!!!!!






Liz and I were pumped to go on a leisurely walk!






Clearly, we know how to leisurely walk when being pumped up.






Javan expresses his excitement in the form of a Jazz Hands performance dance while Liz follows his lead.






Liz and I know how to make 5K walking look easy.






We were getting close to the finish when Javan and I were enjoying a little bit of guy time, but then Liz came over to girly it all up!






We made it to the finish line and survived the 5K!






Word on the street is that you should drink water at some point after running/walking a 5K. I didn't believe any of that rubbish, but Liz was totally suckered into this myth!






Liz seemed to be a bit glum that the 5K was over, but when I told her she could power walk to the car she was pumped all over again!






Javan and I weren't exactly too thrilled about this idea, so we took a load off for a couple of hours while Liz roamed free throughout land.





And that's the end.

Toy Store Trip

It's been a very hectic summer for both Javan and myself, but even with all of the busyness in our lives we decided to take a little break and have some good ol' fashion roommate fun. And what better way to do that than taking a quick trip over to Toys 'R Us! Seriously…what else could be better? I need some ideas! In the meantime, here are some pictures and videos of us wasting our precious time.






We arrived in the parking lot so we pretty much figured our adventure was halfway over at this point.






Javan managed to find the entrance.






I managed to find an intimidating gang of Pixar characters.






Never trust a Potato Head.






They were fresh out of Brian mugs so I had to settle for Brianna.

Javan tries out the store's fine selection of dinosaur toys.






We had no interest in the girls section due to our fear of being exposed to cooties.






I need to watch where I'm going when turning the corner. You just might jam your head into a ball cage!






Luckily, I was able to use this helpful little gadget to pull myself out rather than using my own hand.






Javan loved the Iron Man toy and didn't want to let go of it…..






…..until he spotted a jumbo size mask that talks back to you with attitude.






You can't go wrong with Slimmer, a Ghostbuster classic…..






…..or even the marshmallow dude.






But leave it to Godzilla to ruin the party and chase us out of the aisle.

We escaped the wrath of Godzilla and found ourselves surrounded by more funny looking dinosaurs.






To stay hidden from the dreaded Godzilla and various dinobots I blended in with this trusty white ninja mask I had just found.






I then double backflipped down the aisle to grab me this trusty white ninja foam sword.






Don't ever mess with a ninja with glasses.






Javan decided act less like an idiot and go head on with the Star Wars gear.






I didn't think going full on Star Wars was such a bad idea either so I tired out a light saber.






Javan decided to test one out as well…..






…..but because of my catlike reflexes I thought he was about to attack me with his clearly evil colored saber.






Javan, however, also possesses quick catlike reflexes to guard himself from my deadly attack.






Who knew there would be more Star Wars stuff!






Javan was very tempted to buy this little guy…..






…..but that thought quickly ended once he saw the jumbo Bumblebee helmets.






Those masks just aren't very appealing to me as much as Power Wheels. I had some trouble getting into this vehicle…..






…..but then I found one that was just right!






It was about that time to go and Javan couldn't let me have all the fun with driving off with a kid-sized vehicle…..






…..but I clearly had the last laugh with these strange puppets.






We found the exit and made our way out of the store. It was a good little trip without having to deal with any of the employees telling us that we are weird…at least not in front of our faces.





The End!
