On Sunday we braved the weather and cheared on Kirsten and John as they ran the Chicago Half Marathon. This was Kirsten's first big one and she did great. Congratulations you two!!! ( This picture was taken before the race....at the end everyone was soaked to the bone and we all were drowned rats! My elph couldn't take any more rain. Boo hoo... )
The kids were such troopers. Makenna and Jack tolerated the rain and did so great despite being soaked. Here they are waiting for John and Kirsten to run by mile 5. Jack looks like he might see them, doesn't he???? so cute!!
And the day had more excitement in store for me. Mom and I jumped on Chicago Cubs tickets that were sold on Saturday night. Because of hurricane Ike, the Astro's Cubs game was moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We sat right behind home base and watched the historic game.....Cubs won and Big Z got his first (and Cubs first in 36 years!) No, no...A complete game with no hits!!! Oh my golly was it exciting. Of course the stadium was filled with Cubs fans as only cubs fans can do, and it was thrilling to say the least.
We couldn't of been happier!! Go Cubbies....we want a World Series!!!
