Andrew's marathon!!

Andrew ran his first Marathon today at Robins Air Force base in Warner Robins.  Of course, it was a frigid morning in the 30's so we bundled up to cheer dad on!!

There are old airplanes all over, so atleast there is something neat to look at while you wait!

Hurry up and wait!  That's how it always goes.  Finally we see him!!  We met him at the half way point...A turn around, unfortunately.  You can see the cone where the turn around for the marathoners was.  There were also people running a half.  We headed to a playground for a bit while he finished the second half.  Said he was feeling great at the half...

 It's excrutiating waiting, as wives of "racers" know....  He was taking longer than he had planned...and your mind starts to wander and you fear he's passed out somewhere along the way.  But finally...here he comes!!!   We were near the finish line, so the kids ran out to meet him!

Not a lot of people ran the full marathon, as you can tell.  Not another racer in sight!   

Henry wasn't quite fast enough to keep up and pooped out after about 10 seconds, but Lily ran in with her daddy!  Such a great moment! Go Andrew!!!!

Henry was off collecting sticks...his favorite activity at the moment, and wouldn't come back for a picture...oh well.  Great job babe!!  You can cross this one off your bucket list!
