Busy Weekend

We had a lot going on this weekend. Friday night we stayed in Springfield with Josh and Nicole since Drew and I were attempting The Color Run Saturday morning. It worked out very nice because while we ran the 3 miles, they went for a nice breakfast and were able to pick us up when we were finished. I didn't hear how many people exactly were there but it was in the thousands. Parking was awful.

Although we discussed making this a run/walk, like Forrest Gump, we just kept running......until all of the sudden we were done. We had a lot of fun. It started at 9am. We didn't make it to the start line until 9:39 and finished at 10:07.

Once we showered we headed to Grandma Delores' new place. It's very exciting that she decided to move to Springfield and is now only an hour away. We had lunch at the jam packed Golden Corral (Grandma's choice), and made a quick stop at Lowe's so that Drew could hang 97 pictures. We are looking forward to seeing her quite often.

That evening we made it back in time for a BBQ at Trevor and Ashley's. Griffin got to roast a marshmallow or 12 for the first time. None were edible. The last baby due for our group of friends was born just a couple weeks ago so it was our first get together with everyone having a baby in tow.
