We went to Quincy this morning to support Papa as he ran his first half-marathon. I cannot imagine running this far, so kudos to all of you that I saw running! We just made it in time to see Papa rounding the corner as he came off the bridge...not in time to be able to get a picture. :-( We then raced to the next spot only to get there in time for Mimi to jump out of the van, take a pic, and give him a Woo-hoo! The runners would be coming back on the same road so we decided to camp out and wait and be able to tell Papa he only had two more miles to go. The boys enjoyed watching the numerous airplanes, digging in the dirt, and cheering on the runners while we waited. Papa came over and gave the boys hi-fives this time and Gunner took off running after him. It was so cute! We then raced to the finish line just in time to see him come in at the 1:57 mark. Great job, Papa!
Papa was easy to spot wearing his yellow t-shirt!
Due to the colder-than-expected temps, the boys weren't able to sport their t-shirts until the very end.
Gracie was getting inspired to run!
Gavin and another little race fan dug in the dirt to pass the time.
We see a yellow shirt!
Yep, it's Papa!
You better get running, Papa!
The FINISH line!

I had to add a little "bling" to Gracie's shirt!

Thanks so much for going above and beyond to make dad's first run so special. You can't ask for any better encouragement than your grandkids saying, "go papa go!" not to mention wearing personalized t-shirts. LOVE IT!!!! You really need to go into business since you find time to make so many things that are so cool. Who needs boutiques when you have mommy's creations!!!! We are so blessed to have such a loving daughter that cares so much for her children and family!!! Thanks again so much!!! I love you!!!!!!
