It has been a while since we were able to visit the Thew family. Of course Gavin has changed so much. Year #2 of attempting to get the entire family to do Bloomsday. We had much higher participation this year; everyone except dad who decided to nearly break his leg in 1/2 (conveniently 2 weeks before Bloomsday). He was a great chauffeur though and always makes it much easier for the rest of us.
Playing with 1 of many of Grandpa's firetrucks.
Early Sunday morning, we're all getting ready for the race.
Race time!! Well sort of. Gavin & Barb were stuck in the stroller section which we found out just before the race that is the 'no running zone'. Glad we packed all of our running gear. Ended up we found some small pockets we could run in. It did take us 7 of the 7.5 miles to finally catch up to our family. Jason finished and looped back around; he met us at around mile 3 and did the rest of the race with us. Gavin was SUPER GREAT, stayed in the stroller the whole time and never peeped.
That is of course until Uncle begged to hold Gavin. Here he is riding on Uncle Russell's shoulders and wearing Russ' hat...yeah he thought he was pretty cool, but he is!
The vulture at the top of Doomsday Hill - we did it Gavin!
FINISHERS! It was fun, but next year I think we'll volunteer Grandma to be in the stroller section so mom & dad can run together and try to break an hour as a team!
The ride home from lunch with the Spokane Hendricks'. He visited and ate, but then he crashed...hard! We were happy we were able to see Mark, Lisa, and Morgan on our short visit.
Until August and the Pig Roast! We love & miss you guys already!!!
