Pig Weekend

The Pig is finally here! Tomorrow I get to run my 7.67 miles in the Flying Pig Marathon Relay. I am running with some people from work and am really looking forward to it. Wish me luck!

Oliver participated in the Piglet Fun Run today. It was a gorgeous day (finally), and he had a great time running with hundreds of other 2-yr-olds. Dad and Gramma got to watch while I helped get him going. On your mark, get set, go!



Oliver has never met a mascot that he doesn't love...





AND there was a Jumpy Castle!

10th Anniversary (a little early)!

Sam and I went on a short trip for our 10th anniversary, which is coming up in June (unfortunately, our vacations don't line up in June). The next several posts are pics we took over this last weekend. This first one is just a few random pics that didn't make it into the other posts.

Happy to have my picture taken

Cleveland Indians

We went to a Cleveland Indians game. There was gluten free fare at the ballpark! We had a good time (and managed to stay warm). The Indians won too!

Hocking Hills State Park

Hocking Hills State Park was really beautiful. This could be a future camping spot! The pictures never do justice to places like this, but hopefully you'll get the idea.

Hocking Hills

On Thursday, we went zip lining at Hocking Hills Canopy Tours. It was a lot of fun! We didn't bring a camera small enough to attach to our harnesses, so we didn't get any action shots. But, they did give us certificates!

Visit

Mom and Paul came for a visit this weekend. It felt too short, but it was great to spend time together. I think we'll have to make a plan to go to Michigan for a few extra days after school is out.

Oliver had is first taste of Blue Moon ice cream, but it didn't go so well (ice cream cones often end in tears). Too much "blue, sticky goo". Our hands ended up stuck together, and I started wiping his face on his shirt.



We visited the river park a couple times to swing. "I want wild push, Mommy!"


We got out to the zoo this morning, but only made it about an hour before it started raining. We stayed for a while so that we could see the monkeys, but ended up cutting the trip a bit short.


The zoo train broke down while we were on it today. We had to be evacuated 75 feet to the nearest exit. After waiting not-so-patiently 10-15 minutes for someone to escort us the 75 feet, we decided to walk it on our own. On our lengthy 75-ft walk, zoo employees followed behind us lecturing about the danger of choosing to disembark on our own and how they would have appreciated it if we had remained seated. All-in-all, it was a very pleasant experience.
