Story Ice Skating

Story finished up her ice skating lessons today.

 

 She really enjoyed the six week session, but has decided she wants to try dance next.

Cumberland Mountain State Park

We went camping this weekend at Cumberland Mountain State Park.  Devon ran his first trail run.  It was a 15k.  He was nervous, but excited.  He has much longer trail runs planned for the future, so he did this short one just to get some trail running experience.

 

 

Yes, the girls are in their pajamas:-)  It was early!

 

I don't know how many people were racing, but it seemed to be a fairly small number.

 

The girls and I played Frisbee,

 

played on the playground,

 got a goody bag and met some cool cell phone characters and

 played in the sand while we waited for Dev to finish his run.

 I was pretty happy to see him cross the finish line.  I don't know who had the harder job- him running or me entertaining the three girls and the dog:-/

 The girls could not believe everyone didn't receive a metal, so they made him one!

 Later that evening we went on a hike.

 It was a beautiful park.

 The girls made a friend with a boy camping near us.  They had fun exploring the creek.

 It was a very long overdue trip and we all had a great time!

Blue Max

Story has been wanting to ride the Blue Max at the Science Center for awhile now.  She was so excited today was finally the day.

 Daddy was the lucky one to ride with her.  (I was a little jealous!)

They had a good time!

Run Daddy Run!

Devon ran his second half marathon with Team in Training this weekend.  We all went down on Friday morning to pickup his packet.

 The girls were excited to pose with Daddy in front of the countdown clock.

 We got up early Saturday morning packed out breakfast, snacks, and sign making stuff.  We waited around mile six.  The girls liked watching the race and giving the runners high five.  Story held a sign that said, 'I'm a survivor.  Thank you Team in Training.'  She brought lots of smile to the TNT runners and many others too!  We had one runner stop and give Story a hug saying she was also a leukemia survivor. 

 Sadly, as I was loading these pictures I realized we didn't get one picture of Devon at the end of the race:-(  It was hot and by the time the girls and I left mile six, parked and made it to the stadium.  They were DONE!  We didn't even make it to the finish line. 

He was having stomach issues and it was HOT, but he finished.  Good job, Dev!

New Puppy

We had a new puppy for a little while today.

Luckily, she decided to be a little girl again:-)

First Strawberry

The girls were excited to pick our first strawberries today.

 

They weren't very big, but it was fun and they tasted pretty good:-)

Art at Cheekwood

The girls and I went to Cheekwood this morning to do some art.  They made mixed media bug jars on construction paper.

 

I didn't get a picture of their final products.  This was actually the only picture I took, but it was too cute not to share.

Two Little Cuties

When I came home from work today these two beauties were out riding their scooters.  It was 6:00 in the evening and they were in night gowns and rubber boots (no it had not rained).  Love it!

Let' Go Fly a Kite

Grammy brought the girls a couple of kites the last time she visited.  Today was pretty windy, so we decided to go try them out.

 When the kite flying was done we headed over to the park for a little while.
