Racing Sophie

 Meet Aaron.
He's my brother.
He invited us to spend Conference at his house, which also meant participating in his special conference tradition:
Racing SOPHIE around the house
between the sessions.
Meet Sophie.
She's FAST!
 There weren't many rules;
the runners even got a head start.
 Sophie was held back until the first runner made it to the corner of the house.
 GO!!
 The chickens were confused.
 The runners were FAST!
Not so much.
 In the end?
Sophie won.
EVERY.TIME.
 We LOVE traditions!
Especially at conference time.

She certainly has LOTS OF ENERGY!! It must have been a barrel of laughs racing Sophie. Gracie is just plodding along. Hope Sophie had a nice long nap afterwards. I'll bet everyone else was ready for one.

How have I never heard about this tradition? How was it not in Aaron's letter? How have I never participated in a Sophie race?
