Last weekend Chris ran in the Mesquite Easter 10 mile run. We decided to stay overnight and watch him run his almost half marathon. Well, we got to our hotel, which happened to be less than a half mile away from the race, and they said they didn't have our reservation. We showed them our confirmation number, and they said that wasn't right. The internet company messed us up! Well, there wasn't any more rooms available there, and can you believe it, but there wasn't a single room available in Mesquite! So, we had to go to St. George and wake up early and drive back to Mesquite. If we would have known that we would have just traveled from our house in Vegas. Needless to say, we were very angry with Travelocity and what they did to us. And to think we had such a great time with the $7 hotel just right before. Anyways, enough about the hotel.
Chris did awesome in his race. It was pouring rain on him the ENTIRE time. The kids and I watched from the car and drove around and honked. The kids loved getting out in the rain and yelling, "Go, Dad, Go!" as he would pass by. Anyways, Chris did great. He took 1st in his age division, and 5th overall. 10 miles! Sheesh! The funny thing is is a bit ago he told me he hated running. He said it was boring! And now look at him...running way more than me! Way to go Chris! And he's training for a marathon this summer!!!
Gotta have another hotel sleeping picture, right?! So cute...
And Porter sleeping. Not a good angle because you can't see his face, but he's all bundled up, until the first second he can wiggle himself free when he wakes up.

That's just awesome that Chris did that. Bummer about the hotel...did you ever get your money back??
Way to go Chris!! You're awesome - I bet a full marathon is next :)
Anna, you better complain to Travelocity - if you haven't pass the info on to me and I'll complain for you, they owe you big time!!!!
Love you all!
Yeah Chris! I think that's awesome that he ran that! Sorry to hear about the stupid hotel! Bummer. I love that picture of Porter sleeping...that's exactly how Lily sleeps!
Bummer about the hotel. And way to go, Chris! And first in his age division! I'll bet you can't wait to run more again once little Porter gets a little older. Way to be the supportive mother of three right now! Your time will come again.
Congrats Chris, that is great! Must feel SO great to accomplish something like that! Too bad about the hotel and rain, but definitely an experience you won't forget - it's ones like that you can look back at and laugh about later :).
