Tulsa

Sorry folks, I was sick most of last week, and we've been crazy busy.  So now I'm playing catch-up with my posts. I am starting this post with a picture of Emma smiling.  It is so hard to get one of her smiling because she moves so fast.

I finally got to run in my half marathon last weekend.  I've been waiting for a while for one to come in our area that wasn't on a Sunday.  This one was in Tulsa, it was the Aquarium Run, and I LOVED it!  I finished the race wanting to sign up for another one.  (to run on a different day)  It gave me the desire to run as many as possible.  I was so happy to do this.  

The great thing about the Aquarium run was that they gave me a free pass to the aquarium for the day.  We only had to pay for Kenadi and Randy.  I thought it was a neat place, but not as neat as it should have been considering the price.

Wow, this is like an overload of pictures with me in them.  I am always behind the camera, so I gave Randy the camera more often this weekend.  Anyways, we had a great time in Tulsa.  I loved that city!  It was more hilly, and so beautiful.  We stayed the night before in a hotel so that we could get some sleep the night before my race.  (it didn't work that way)  We also got to enjoy eating out a couple of times.  We planned on this being a mini vacation since we don't think we will make it home to Washington this year.  Those airplane tickets are sooo expensive!

This is a big shrimp under Randy's hand, cleaning it.  Those things just come right up to you and start cleaning away.  I thought that was neat.  Not neat enough to stick my hand in though.

Kenadi had no issues.  She was trying to catch shrimp and everything.  I was glad that she doesn't have my shrimp fears.  She loved it.

After we got done with the aquarium, Kenadi wanted to run across this foot bridge like I did in my race.  Of course she wanted me to run with her.  I felt a bit stiff, but she wanted to run so bad.  When I ran by the girls and Randy during my run, both girls ran out after me, and Kenadi cried so hard when she was stopped by Randy.  She just wanted to run.

The picture below is a rare thing.  Randy has been more cooperative in pictures lately.  I hope it lasts.
