Happy Turkey Day & 26.2

 

Nana & Papa were here for Thanksgiving and we went, as usual, to pick out our Christmas tree the day following. Only problem this year, was that it was raining! Well, that didn't stop us...although it required the use of the blower and the air compressor to dry off the tree prior to bringing it in the house to decorate!

The Sunday after Thanksgiving was the Seattle marathon...which Papa was planning (and had trained) to run. Last minute, Mike decided to join him, not having run more than 4 miles or so. Crazy. And, what's crazier is that he finished. They both did...and they did great! 

 

The cheering section waiting to spot Papa & Daddy for the 1st time about mile 9 or so. We would see them both 3 more times after this! It was chilly early in the AM and especially by Lake Washington, but the sun came out later & it warmed up closer to finish-time.
