"Barnvasaloppet"

Today it is time.. time to get serious :).. or at least to fake it. Besides the fact the cousin William has a surprise birthday cake/party-thingy, Milton enters his first competition ever, Barnvasaloppet. It's a race for kids between 3-10 years of age and is 1 km long. Youngest kids are in the back and oldest are in the front. It's a funny miniature pre-race for tomorrows main event for grownups, Vasaloppet.

Milton was a real champ. He might have gone his own pace and didn't care about the others but he never complained, cried, wanted to stop, give up.. or anything.. In fact he was so in to his own race he finished ? (far from 1st place)

Birthday cake is the best... or so it looks like.
