Marine Corps Marathon...Saturday!

Today was Addi's race day!  She signed up for the Marine Corps kids fun run.  It was a mile long course at the Pentagon.  It was a lot of fun.  We took the metro in which was an event all by itself!  Addison did a great job running.  She was told that she was supposed to walk so none of the kids get run over...well she didn't know what she should start running so she spent some time walking until she saw that other kids were running.  Then it was game on!  She had fun and didn't seem to get tired.  Her long gazelle legs helped her out!  From Bill's timing she finished a mile in about 11:30.  Not bad for that being the her furtherest run and six!! We were certainly proud!

Then began our journey to the D.C. Armory for Bill's packet pick up!  What a mess!  We waited in line for 2.5 hours to get his packet.  The hold up....was bag check.  Had they communicated that bags would not be allowed thing would have gone much quicker!  It was horribly run with no communication.  Then you had to go into the expo to get your finishers shirt! Without that no one would have gone in there! So overall, Bill was on his feet way more than he wanted to be!  But we got home and he was able to relax!

So there was some problem with my memory card as some of the pictures would not download.  So, I will have to try and figure that out.  It is really strange!  And of course it is all the really fun ones like Bill pinning on Addi's bib and Bill holding up his bib at the expo!  So, hopefully someone smarter than me can get them back!
After the race!! 

 The cutest spectator there is!! 
 The hair....that is what we looked for...and the tights!
 Running!
 Super Excited to give Daddy a high-five!
