Run, Brent, Run!!!

What a weekend! We arrived in Toledo Ohio on Saturday, had lunch and then headed to "Imagination Station" to entertain the children before picking up Brent's packet he needed for the marathon. Some of these pictures will just prove that the adults have just as much fun as the kids. PopPop Tom is very brave to "ride" the bike on the balance beam.

Big Brave Brent rides the bike too. You'll notice that the children didn't ride it.

Standing in this tube, you could make the winds blow at very high levels, feeling as if you are in a tornado. Marley didn't care much for this but Elizabeth loved it!

Can you see Brent's "hair" blowing! What hair!!!

So much fun! So much science!

"Aren't we cute?"

Snack time!

"Don't be afraid, Mommy. You can do it!" says Layla.

Brent is very strong. He flew very high and it took lots of muscles. (He'll need them tomorrow!)

Come on, Elizabeth. You can do it!!!

It was difficult telling who had more fun jumping on the keyboard. The music was NOT very beautiful!

On to the University to pick up Brent's packet.

We stayed at the Ramada (a host motel) which served the purpose. Layla loved the pool most of all. (Who cares about the race when there is a pool thinks Layla.) Marley.....not so much.

Brent just remembers that he has to run 26.2 miles tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

Layla loves that she got to stay up late and stay in PopPop and JoJo's room.

Race Day! Brent was up and out by 6:00. Now we wait...............................

and wait..............................................................

and wait..................................................................................

.........and wa..............wait!!!! "Did you say 'swim' ???????????????

"I LOVE swimming!!!!!! Oh....we're on our way home. Daddy is done.......finally!!!! After finishing, the rain cut loose!

PopPop reads a book and Brent is awake after a short nap. Now he is entertaining Marley. We aren't sure whether Brent is able to move or not. So proud of his achievement! Who would'a thought!

Elizabeth is so glad that the blinding rainstorm is over since she is driving home.

Well done!
