Toledo Train Day

Toledo sponsered a Train Day event down at the Martin Luther King train station downtown. It was a great opportunity for the kids to see where the trains (Amtrak) came into our town. We had never been down there, so it was enlightening for us to see too. There was a a lot of model trains - but the best part for Alan & I was riding on a Segway! I didn't get a picture of that (darn!), but it was really cool.



Here is one of our double decker Amtrak train.

We're all ready to go on a trip!!

There is a cool building downtown that I might have to take the kids back to for a full-blown photo session. Here is my test shot...

Queen Pico!

Pico is Queen of all that she sees!

A school playdate

Sydney was so excited to show everyone her new kitten. We invited over Miranda, a friend from kindergarten, over our house after school. They had a lot of fun, and Pico seemed to recover pretty quick from all of their "loving". :) Pico really is a good kitten with the kids - she enjoys playing with them and doesn't run and hide.

Glass City Marathon

Today was the Glass City Marathon. Alan has never run in this race before, and he decided to run the 1/2 marathon. The half marathon started in downtown Perrysburg, at Perry's Landing so it was close to home. The day was really nice, but again way too warm. In the past this race has had terrible weather, rain or even snow! But of course Alan gets one of those oddball 80 degree days.



The starting line... Alan's out there, somewhere!!



We got to enjoy the park for a little bit before we went to the next stop to cheer on Daddy.




Aww, aren't they sweet when they're not fighting!?!



Almost half way through his run Daddy is still going strong!



And he finished (very sweaty and tired from the heat) in 1 hour 47 minutes. Hooray!!

My flower bouquet was a little wilty by the end of the race too :)
