Bloomsday is HUGE in Spokane. I think it's the countries largest timed foot race and guess what...it comes right in front of my house!! So we had to move our cars and all we had to do was step right outside our door to see the action that people travel hundreds of miles to participate in. The race started at 9am. They first go up Doomsday Hill, then turn to come down my street, so by the time they get here they're already tired out, but I'm sure they're glad for the even leveled street. First came the wheelchairs (above). Every now and then the police would come and clear the way for the next wave.
Then came the professional, VERY fast runners.
Here's Autumn looking on!
And the family all bundled up in front of my house. After a while we had to move back into the yard because the runners were starting to spit and spray, and even run on the sidewalks to bypass others.
Here come the fairly fast and in pretty good shape guys.
The the fun gets a little more crowded and a little goofier.
Gonzaga..Army ROTC??
And these two ladies took advantage of the crowds to show their support for legalizing marajuana. Some young kid terrorized these poor gals with water guns and screaming "Obama Sucks!"
Autumn liked "the colors"
