Running

Oh boy. I'm a slacker. Well now that summer is over I should begin a recap so I'll start with Wednesday Night at the Races. Each Wednesday starting in July, grandmas marathon puts on a kids run complete with ribbons and drinks and snacks. She has loved this and looked forward to it each week. They had the grand finale at the end of August. I actually didn't think it was even going to happen because once we got to the park where it was at, all she wanted to do was play on the playground. When she heard the announcer call for the runners she was back in so we were lined up to run. When I say lined up its true...there were hundreds of people there. It was crazy. They gave the kids ribbons, a bag, a t-shirt, and then at the end of the run there was a catered picnic dinner complete with mini Ben and Jerry's ice cream. And to seal the deal it was right by the beach. You'd think it'd be perfect,and it was except for the UWS Yellowjackets mascot who was there to run with the kids. Frannie was NOT a fan of "that bee" and almost fell as she kept looking behind us as we were running to be sure he wasn't coming to get us. Even as we ate she kept a wary eye out for him. She's a sensitive little soul.
