St. Patrick's Day 5K!!

Yesterday (Friday) we headed down to Biloxi with Kyle's parents for a little overnight trip and to run a 5K this morning. My parents drove down this morning and also ran in the race. Kyle and Dad made their best times ever!! Sandra and G.P. watched the kids while we ran, and we were so thankful for that! The weather was absolutely beautiful - a little windy for my taste, but overall it was perfect for early spring. These babies deserve some serious bragging here. They were such troopers for the whole thing! I think they mostly enjoyed some new scenery like the rest of us.

Dinner last night... after riding around for an hour deciding where to eat ;)


Our hotel was right across from the beach so we headed across the road to play a little.


Toes in the sand.

These kids are going to LOVE the beach this year!

Warning: It is much colder than it may appear!


Don't we all wish we looked this cute when we first wake up ;)

Bundled up and ready to cheer everybody on!

Before the race...
About 300 people participated.

After the race we headed over to "Grillin on the Grounds" to eat and let the kids play. There was a live band, so guess who had to dance??!! Actually a camera man from one of the Coast news stations got Brantlee on camera busting a move. I have no idea if it will air, but he thought she was hilarious!

Then Brantlee found a booth with a gazillion balloons - her idea of heaven.


Enjoying the beautiful day and a hot dog!

Well that wraps up our quick weekend trip. And I must say that we are beat!!! We will be ordering pizza tonight and laying on the couch for the remainder of the weekend. A nice start to Spring Break though.
