I left the house well before 6AM to get down to the race on time. Lehr and the kids got up just after 6 to pick up breakfast and head down to 'spectate'. As usual, Maddux and Eli had a blast eating bagels and yogurt as runners passed by most of the morning. They saw plenty of costumes and patriotic headgear before I made it to them on my own route. D and Bryce were with them also, helping the fun factor, for sure.
After the race we headed home for lunch. A quick nap and family game later, it was approaching dinner time and it was raining cats and dogs. Since the weather was threatening to cancel fireworks, we ate inside. We'd already planned to have Family Movie Night if the storms cancelled fire works, but we were hopeful as the sky cleared. Just as we pulled out of the neighborhood, the rain started again, harder than before. We turned the car around and texted some friends to come over for FMN. The kids watched most of "Up" and ate all of the popcorn I'd popped for the fireworks. They had a blast and never even mentioned sadness over the change in plans.
