We have had quite a busy weekend! Wilton celebrated it's annual Blueberry Festival which is always so much fun! The whole family ran in the road race on Friday. James, Ben and Audrey ran the kids 1mile fun run and did really well. I wasn't sure Audrey would make it the mile, but she was so upset the last time we left her out of a race we had to let her try. She did so well and didn't ask to be picked up once! Ben did an awesome job running with Gabe and James did so well running the mile all by himself! Noah, Gabe and I ran in the 5K this year. I remembered it being a rough course the last time we ran it, but was hoping it wasn't as bad as I remembered... It was difficult to say the least. Noah did an amazing job on all of the hills and finished with a great time for him given the difficulty of the course. There were only two 13 year olds and a 14 year old in front of him:) Gabe was able to run solo in this race and ended up taking first place for his age group! After the race we all drove down to the lake to jump in and cool down before watching "Inside Out" on the big screen outside in the park.
Saturday morning we got up and out to the parade followed by a birthday party for Nannie with Trey and Lily. During the afternoon we tried hard to get our boat into Clearwater Lake up in Industry, but that turned into a complete disaster. We aborted that plan and returned home. After dinner we got together with friends for a desert party and to watch the fireworks.
Two late nights in a row didn't stop us from getting going on Sunday to head to Santa's Village. It was certainly bizarre to be there without Grandpa, but at the same time it was cool to be in a place that he loved so much. We know he was there with us in spirit:) We convinced all of the kids to go on most of the rides. The log flume took the most convincing, but I think the pictures here speak volumes... ;)
