Mankato Marathon 2014 ~

We could not have asked for a more beautiful weekend for the Mankato Marathon this year!  The big boys participated in their first official race, the KidsK, and both did great.  I ran the half marathon again this year and could not have felt better.  I came in at 2:18:22 and beating my goal of 2:20.  I am having a great time running and am thankful the boys are finding joy in running too.  We have talked about how fun it will be when we can all run a big race together.

 Odin really enjoyed the race and had the biggest 

smile coming towards the finish line!

Quinn got a stitch towards the end of his 

race but pushed through it and ran through

the finish line!

Deer Hunters Unite ~

Odin attended his first MN Deer Hunters Association banquet at the beginning of this month.  He was so excited!!  He was also a big winner ~ he won himself a rifle ~ which is something his dad has been trying to do since I've known him (8 years).  He is sad though that he can't go hunting yet and use his gun!

 Bonding with Dad

 Hanging out with Uncle Nick 

and Grandpa Anderson

 "Am I a winner?"

 "That was a funny guy!"

And finally, Odin wins his gun!!

(and a wee bit tired, it was a long night)
