Hello! Greetings to my beach lovin’ Friends! Today was the first day that my shoes were off entirely – and all the sand I stepped through was warm – even the wet sand!
We got up early to beat the crowds to D River – to participate in the Lincoln City Kite Festival. Many people were there to watch – but As Our Usual – the Petra School Boys – just had to get involved!
Today we learned about the Running of the Bols. They strap you into a huge bol kite, and then race 50 yrds or so down the beach, competing with two other runners. The first 50-60 to sign up get to race. Most ran with friends, but – Not JonnyLego. He wanted to do it by himself.
Gearing Up:
Strapped In:
People all around were taking pictures of the “crazy kid”. Before this round only adults or adults with kids were running, and many of them got knocked down. 
Ready . . .Set . . . GO! 
He ran a real close Second to two older boys. The third team was WAY behind. :) The crowds wonder changed from skeptic to excitement to see him finish so well. He said he now knows of a way to rip your ribs out of your chest. Just in case you were wondering . . of a way to that. . . .
