We had a nice breakfast with Rebecca and her family before walking about a mile to the start of the Race for the Zoo starting line.  Our 5K started at 9:00 am.  The kids aren't tired, it was just really bright out.  Brent and Julian couldn't hold still.  They had ran to the race and were constantly wrestling and jumping around before the race began.  Were weren't sure they would make it to the finish.  

OK, Callie was a little tired.  Rebecca and Clarissa were going with the boys.  Callie and I were teamed up and Rebecca's parents had Sebastian, Damian & Isabella.  I think.  It was crazy.  There were around 9,000 racers.  We were wearing our green t-shirts, everyone but Callie, so it was easy to find each other before the race, but once it started I didn't see anyone.  



The line of people seemed never ending, both in front of us and behind.  Everyone was really friendly and the only ones that seemed at all in a hurry were what Callie called the "baby pushers"  You quickly learned to stay out of their way.  Throughout the race there were people in green zoo shirts encouraging everyone and making sure everyone was heading the right way.  Some were in costume or playing music.  

After the race we walked another mile back to the hotel.  There wasn't much time to clean up before the lunch at the bistro; so everyone agreed to be stinky together.  Thankfully we drove to the Bistro.  Lunch was lovely.  Afterwards Florent took Brent and Callie with Julian and his cousin go karting.  They had a blast.  I got to go back to the hotel and relax until dinner.  We had dinner at a fun Greek restaurant on Nob Hill and headed home exhausted from day 2.
