Hook and Ladder

Last weekend, Mark, Mason and Kendal made it down to Livermore to run in the 6th annual Hook and Ladder Run.  It wasn't easy to get down there, Mark didn't finish shooting until 9:00 Saturday night, and then they made the drive to San Ramon.  Then Mason and Mark navigated to the wrong location, but they overcame and  fell into line with 5 minutes to spare Sunday morning.  It was well worth it to be a part of this super positive event that Mark's brother Matt puts so much time and energy into each year.  I love that the kids and Mark rose to the challenge without any running preparation, and went out with smiles (mostly) on their faces to support a great cause.  And it makes me smile that they all immediately acknowledge the camera people at the race, although Kendal refused to hold Mark's hand for the photo op :)
