We have had a busy week. Chris and I ventured to Albany, Georgia Friday morning for a whirlwind 36 hour visit to do a marathon and then turn around to come home. We paced two different finish times in the race - Chris was 3 hours 20 minutes and I was 3 hours 40 minutes. It was fun to have a group to run with and very inspiring to cross the line with people we had gotten to know and encouraged the whole time. It was blessedly foggy and cool Saturday morning and the sun didn't burn off the fog until the last hour of the race. Then we had all day Saturday to bask in the gorgeous, high 70 degree weather. The taste of Spring was just what we needy to perk up our dreary spirits. It's been a long, cold, dark winter of outdoor training.
I surprised Chris and the kids Monday with a trip to Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos. We picked Chris up at work and didn't tell him where we were going. Great Wolf is an indoor water park resort and it is like a gigantic log cabin. It was really fun and the kids didn't want to leave on Tuesday. But it was back to work for us both on Wednesday for the remainder of the week. We are ready for the weekend to recover from all of the fun!
Autumn loved the water slides and would go down them all day.
The wave pool was Joshua's favorite.
Silly Autumn - that's Joshua's swim diaper.
Breakfast in bed was fun!
The arcade was a treat (and the only way we could entice the kids to leave the waterpark!)

One look at the arcade and Mike was sold. He he!
Congrats on such a great marathon time! You certainly have had a busy week. I had heard you were headed to the water resort but did not hear how everyone liked it. Sounds like it was a complete hit!!
Congrats on the awesome pace for the marathon. You two are amazing. Then it was time for some fun with the family, and what better place, especially in the dead of winter. We love you all.
Thanks for email about the pace teams. Sounds like the marathon went really well for both of you. I want to talk to you more about it though because I'm planning on joing a group for the Flying Pig.
Great Wolf looked like a lot of fun. What a great get away!
