A little rain did not stop the party at City Park. The park was filled with laughter, singing, and lots of eating.

Rose Weekend

Mom and Photographer








The Roses were in full bloom.





"Rose Weekend is the crowning event for Elizabeth Park when the Rose Garden is in full bloom.
The Rose Garden features over 15,000 rose bushes and arches, which cover over two and one half acres. Words cannot describe the Rose Garden in full bloom, although “amazing” and “heavenly” come to mind."





Many friendly people attended the event!

Fun Run






















The kids worked very hard to reach their goal of running three times a week, so it was time to celebrate! We started off with our guest speaker, Southington's Superintendent of Schools and avid runner, Dr. Erardi. After his inspirational words, we stretched, ran together, and received awards for our hard work. It was not about who was the fastest...it was about accomplishing a goal...making a commitment to better one's self through running. Remember we are, "getting fit today for a better tomorrow". I hope to see many of my runners at various Fun Runs this summer. Keep running and making healthy choices! Congratulations!
