We went up to the Dells with the kids and had a wonderful time. Michael and Emily and Emily's friend Grace were running in the Marathon on Sunday. Mike, Emily, Katie and Grace and I went up on Fri., weather was beautiful. We stayed in a lovely condo with a hot tub in the living room. LOL The kids went to the indoor water park at the facility and wore themselves out Fri. night. They got up Sat. morning and did a bike ride on the marathon route so they would know where they would be running. Katie and I went out for breakfast. George, Robin and William came up after his qualifying race on Sat. Then all the kids went to the water park with mom, George and Mike and I went to a buffet for dinner. Hmm sounds like all I did was eat, not really. We a had a room with a view of the Wisconsin river so I sat in the window and did a lot of knitting. We also did a lot of walking, wish I had the discipline to keep it up here at home.
They finished the 13 mi. half marathon in 2 hrs. 8 min. , i"d still be walking. LOL If Emily keeps it up she'll beat her dad's time at the next race.
Yesterday I did laundry and finally figured out how to get embroidery patterns off the Internet and to my embroidery machine. I am so proud of myself and my classes paid off. I'll post a picture of my first attempt as soon as I get my camera back from Katie. I left it with her because George and I came home before the race ended. It was really cold and from all the walking I had done my calves and back muscles knotted up on me big time so we decided to come home. After my legs warmed up in the car they finally relaxed and felt better.
A hot tub in the living room!! Well that would be enticing to say the least! LOL Sounds like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteMy nephew does these marathons too; I don't think I'd make it myself! My feet bother me too much.
Where did you find your cute background?
Well back to sewing my drapes. Hope you have an awesome day!
