Dad ran the marathon. We've been going with Mom and Dad since 2004 and it's been such a great time every year. Now Sydney was with us this time. It was so fun to have my 2 girls with me.
Dad's time was 3 hours 50 minutes! That's so good for him. He always tried to break 4 hours and this year we didn't even get there in time to see him cross the finish line! He had already finished and everything. I was proud of him. After we pick up Dad and drive back to the hotel, we always go get 2 Gatorades or a big drink for him and then have a picture with him and Elizabeth in the parking lot. It's becoming a tradition now.
At the hotel, there's a little wooden carving of a dog that's always there right as you enter the lobby. Elizabeth has loved that dog since 2004! Every year we go, there he is and Elizabeth loves to hang out by him and go visit him at night in her jammies.
Also there's a Texaco store right there by the hotel. We go and get treats or drinks whenever and it was SO FUNNY...Elizabeth has a Chicken costume that she loves to wear right now for Halloween and she put it on and wanted to go to the store...everyone thought she was so cute! People were stopping to look at her and smiling at her because she's quite a sight in her costume! She's such a ham. She also went to the store one night in her jammies.
Sydney loved every minute of this trip. She was constantly curious about everything around her. She's so interested in everything. We bought her a lot of new clothes (Elizabeth too) and toys. She was so happy to be there with us and to go everywhere and soak it all in.
We went up to Zions on Friday. Took the shuttle to Weeping Rock. It's so cool. Water just falls down like it's raining all the time.
Elizabeth was a little bit sick that day. 24 hour bug. We got some Tylenol and packed her down with cold washcloths in the hotel. She came out of it pretty fast.
Mark and I had a great time. Dinner at Red Lobster was fun.
Mom and Dad just had a blast, too, I could tell. Taking care of the girls and being together was great for them.
Can't wait for next year!!!
