01.08.11-Disney Half-Marathon

On Friday, January 7 we loaded up the car and headed for Orlando. We had decided we were going to go watch Ryan, Jenny & Rick run the Disney half & full marathon. We got to our hotel that evening, and as we were pulling in, I looked at the reservation, and realized I had reserved the room for the wrong weekend. Ugh. Edgar went in, though, and everything worked out. We actually got some money back-yay! We got to our room and quickly put the kids to bed, for what we thought would be a good night's sleep. WRONG. Leah cried...HARD for an hour. She's NEVER done that. Never. I was really hoping there was no one in the room next to us. Eli, of course, would not go to sleep with Leah crying, so we were up for a while. I think the kids finally got to sleep around 10:30...and then were up at 7:00 am. We wanted to leave our room by 7:30-which we miraculously came close to doing. We headed to the finish line to see Ryan and Jennifer complete their half-marathon. Eli wanted to show all the athletes his abs...apparently he was warm...
Leah discovered her fingers. It was a very profitable time for her...

Eli got some much needed 'daddy time'. SO glad Edgar is feeling better!

Leah got out of the stroller and into the Bjorn. Lovely self-portrait...

And then came Ryan!

Followed by Jennifer!

They both did amazing. They said that the race was PACKED-they were dodging people for most of the race, and still had fantastic times.

Way to go Ryan & Jennifer!
