My first official race


Today Sophia went on her first official race....the James Page Blubber Run. She dressed up this morning for this very special event in her leopard outfit. We figured that she should be wearing a costume for her first beer run.

Our friends Matt and Renee met us downtown and we headed off to find our wristbands. Sophia was amazed at the crazy loud people in very unique costumes. Just as we got to the start, it started to downpour. We found a great tree to stand under while we waited for our friends to get their numbers and t-shirts. Then we were off!

We didn't make it very far before we found the beer stop....right across from where we started. We thought to beat the crowds we would get our end beer at the beginning. So we went off on our 3 mile walk. The rain cleared up and we made it the whole way, but not before we found the second beer stop.

When we got done with the race, we took off racing home as we had an appointment with our realtor. After meeting with her, we came back home for lots of toy playing and then Sophia needed to go down for her big girl nap. Needless to say, she isn't much of a napper when she is at home. She finally fell asleep after trying for two hours.

After she woke up from her nap, Hal and I went out to dinner with Matt and Renee to Bonfire in Woodbury. Dinner was great! Renee and I have decided to try and get into the half-marathon together in Duluth next year. We had a great night with them.

Tomorrow, Sophia and I are going to Baby Grand to pick up yet another new hat for her and to do some mommy/daughter shopping. Hal is off to watch the football games at Roddy's. Hopefully we will find some fun things to purchase!

So cute! Nate and I are sad, we would've loved to have been there with Abby too! Sounds like a fun time.
