Last week I was a bit under the weather so Dave took the kids to Family Reading Night. Apparently they ate a bunch of junk, did some crafts, and listened to some stories and all around had a great time. I stayed home on the couch and watched TV.
On Saturday, I was still not feeling great so I bummed around and did next to nothing. By extension the rest of the family also bummed around and did chores, but nothing too exciting.
On Sunday, we all got up early and headed to Ann Arbor for Shamrocks and Shenanigans it was 20 degrees out!!). The kids ran the 1K and had a great time. Ajax lined up with the 8-9 yrs old with me right behind him and Noomi and Dave were behind us in the next wave for younger kids. Ajax ran the entire race! I was shocked. I was a bit behind him and matched his pace and thought for sure he’d putter out, but he didn’t and he did excellent! Noomi was terribly shy and embarrassed by all the people lining the streets cheering, so she refused to run very much and kept hiding her face in Dave’s leg.
After the run we watched the 5K group line up and take off. We all cheered and enjoyed watching the runners in all their green flare. Afterwards we had brunch at a local diner (Fleetwood). The diner had a ton of stickers on the wall and the server tasked the kids with finding Sponge Bob. That kept them entertained while we waited for our food! We then drifted around downtown for a bit and hit up a comic book shop. We actually had to hang a bit longer since I inadvertently parked us on the run route and we ended up getting blocked in LOL!
Anyways, it was a great day and we can’t wait to run next year! Ajax has committed to the 5K and hopefully Noomi will embrace the 1K!
