Kris trained for and completed the Bayshore Marathon on May 26th. How awesome is that? Since December he began waking up every morning at 6:15am and devoted up to three and a half hours towards physical fitness and preparing for the big race (except for Sundays). He is such a great inspiration to our family.
So, this is how Kris felt after he completed the race. I guess he was a little tired!
But hey, he could still almost do a chin up, so that's pretty good!
We had a great time in Traverse City the day before Kris' race. We played on a city beach that abuts Traverse Bay and let the kids swim at the hotel. The day was beautiful!
Then after Kris' race on Saturday afternoon, we drove to Grand Haven and let the kiddos swim and play on the beach. The water was a little cold, but it didn't stop them from playing in Lake Michigan. Another gorgeous day!
Rib Fest was going on in downtown Grand Haven. We tasted their wares. Pretty good stuff. Then we ate pizza and nachos in a little restaurant before going home.
And this picture of Ellary pretty much sums up how we all felt at the end of the day- worn out! But we had so much fun! Thanks for giving us a good excuse to make more wonderful family memories, Kris. And thanks for being such a dedicated, self motivating father and husband. You make us all very proud!
