St. Patrick's Day

    This Saturday was the annual St. Patrick's Day run. Sadly, due to the fact that I was 38 weeks pregnant, I didn't get to participate. I was kind of bummed to not run it since it is one of my favorite races. There is always next year. My brother and sister both ran it, so we all headed down to cheer them on. The weather was not as nice as it usually is. They did luck out with decent weather for the race, although it was pretty windy. After the race, it got very cold and windy so they got lucky.
     Ashlyn decided that she wanted to do the kids fun run. Since I could not run with her, she insisted that her Uncle Steven run with her. It was pretty cold by the time they ran, but she was a trooper and finished strong. My brother said that he thinks she has gotten faster since cross country. She had a fun time running which is all that matters.
    They do a parade after the races. When my brother ran up the street with Ashlyn for the kids run, he spotted some Deloreans. He immediately came back and told Joey about them. Ashlyn and I headed to the car because we were freezing, and Joey took Dawson to the Deloreans. Joey said he has never seen Dawson so happy. We have been saying forever how much we would love for him to see a real one. He was just amazed. There were four of them for the parade. Joey asked one of the owners if Dawson could sit in the drivers seat. They said yes. Dawson could not have been happier. Joey said the owner was extremely impressed that Dawson knew was a Delorean was for being so young. When they got to the car, Dawson just had to see the pictures on the camera. He could not stop smiling. What a great moment for Dawson!
