Daddy and Aunt Amber ran in the Living History Farms Race on the weekend of Mommy's birthday. The race itself is quite unique, its a seven mile race through fields, creeks, up hills and in cold weather. The runners also wear very unique outfits!
Before the race. Nana, Daddy, Papa and Olivia
Grandma Lillian, Aunt LuAnn, and Aunt Nancy came up for the weekend. Grandma Lillian didn't know everyone was coming, so it was fun to surprise her! It was also the first time meeting Amelia.
Aunt Amber with Olivia.
7500 people ran in the race - it was a sea of people!
The all-star runners stretching. Papa got them matching hats and arm bands in order to find them easier.
And the stretching continues....
Another shot of all the runners
The beginning of the race! It was a sea of people going straight at you!

After Daddy and Aunt Amber ran by we all walked to the finish line area.

Amelia is bundled in her snowsuit and sleeping in her stroller.
Papa and Mommy had their own little adventure in order to find a place to watch Daddy and Aunt Amber run by. We had to cross a creek and up an embankment.
Here they come!
They still have smiles on their faces and still running!
This is a 'before' picture of a creek that has to be crossed by all the runners.
This is the 'after' picture! The embankment has completely eroded away and has widened by a lot!
Daddy and Aunt Amber finding a place to cross the creek
They made it across in one piece and relatively clean
And they continue on.....up a very big hill!
Almost at the finish line!
A little bit closer!
At the end Aunt Amber dug deep and sprinted across the finish line before Daddy.
Celebratory arm raise at the finish line by Daddy!
Daddy and Mommy at the end of the race! Way to go! Mommy was so proud of Daddy!
Eyes are closed on this picture, but its the only one of the three of us!
Great Job Daddy and Aunt Amber! I am so impressed you ran this race!Until next year.....
