This past weekend was jam-packed with activities and flew by way too quickly. On Saturday morning I participated in a 5k Color Run which was an absolute blast. In the afternoon our race team had a celebratory BBQ. It was a pretty healthy group of individuals and I wasn't going to be the person that brought 400-calorie cupcakes. These rainbow fruit kebabs were perfect!
