A Couple of Whipper Snappers

Just catching up on posts here. The reason for our trip up north to Duluth a few weeks ago was so Jeff and his dad could run Grandma's marathon. Jeff trained all through the winter and spring, and we were all looking forward to the big race. The day before the marathon they held a race for the kids called the Whipper Snapper. Nathaniel was SO excited to be in his very own race, he could hardly contain himself. Here are some pictures of the kiddie race and the marathon!

Getting his number pinned on:

Spectating is some serious business:


Ringing the cowbell to cheer on the racers:


Cheering on from the sidelines:


The race is on!


Waiting on the sidelines for Papa and Daddy:

Success!
