Big Brother, Little Brother

This year little brother wanted to participate in the Egg Toss game.  He thought it was great to toss that egg at his big brother! It was an absolutely beautiful, picture perfect, day at 'The Farm' yesterday for the reunion, and I got some great pictures.  For so many reasons, this is my very favorite.

'Pop a Squat'

What a great find!  We were starving after the track meet, and I saw an empty parking spot in front of this street vendor's cart named Danny's.  We debated for a minute or two, but then decided to give them a try.  Boy, are we glad that we did.  The girls had super yummy grilled hot dogs, (They will make them any which way you want!) and I had one of the best burgers that I have eaten in a while.  They are located on the 'Green Mall' in Brunswick, which is a great little park to enjoy a picnic, complete with a seagull to toss extra food to!

A Strong Finish & A New Personal Record

The kiddos have gotten so much better at pacing themselves that they can 'fight' off challengers coming down the backstretch to the finish line!
Her Triple Jump efforts today ended with a massive leap of 29 feet 2 inches!

Huh. Who knew?!

I was so surprised when we saw these stations while traveling through Connecticut last spring.
Well, we were driving through nearby Norway this afternoon, and look what we found.  
Imagine that.  We have them available locally!

Emily's Run 5k

This morning we completed the second race in the LA Triple Crown Series.  Everyone was there to have a good time, and we did. The kiddos ran very well and had great stories to share afterwards, and I am a little bit closer to my goal of running a 5k in less than 30 minutes.
The best part of this race were the firetrucks spraying water on the course and at the finish line!

Paris Hill Founder's Day 2014

We look forward to this Saturday all year long!  It's the only time we get to visit all of our favorite cars...
And, of course, our annual tradition... 
When did they get bigger than the 'Gone with the Wind' carriage?!!
