John finishes the Marathon

By Amity -
After a great carb loading dinner last evening, John's alarm went off at 5:30 this morning. At 7 am when the marathon started the temp was 25 degrees with a wind chill making it feel like 21 degrees. John finished the marathon in 4 hours and 36 minutes, it was still very cold then. Mac, Emily and I went to the finish line and were fortunate enough to see him come across the finish line. This is John's 4th marathon, it is amazing to me how he does them, what an accomplishment. He will be sore for a little while but we are all so proud of him. Way to go John!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
