First Half Marathon

Westley ran his first Half Marathon (13.1 miles) recently. He has been bugging us for years (since he was 8) to do a Marathon, but we just are not comfortable with it yet. However, when some kids from is cross country wanted to train for a half marathon during the winter we decided to let him join. It was his first time running that much in one day so we told him to take it easy. It was a hilly trail run and he did a great job. Afterwards he said his legs were a little tired, but he wanted to play in his soccer game that afternoon, even though we decided it was best just to watch and support instead.

Giant Unicorn

Charlotte stopped sucking her thumb and earned a giant unicorn stuffed animal. This kid is obsessed with stuffed animals, so the promise of a giant one was just the motivation she needed.
