On our way home the other day, we noticed signs up on our street to be prepared for a “5K race” and “this road will be shutdown” Really? Seriously? Cool!<\/p>\n

What you should know is that we’re fans of the sport. So, we found out when the race was exactly and walked down the street with the girls and found a place that we could watch the runners twice as they went by at different times.<\/p>\n

It was wet and a bit drizzly. We convinced Mira that she wanted to go by riding in the pink car and using the Ladybug umbrella. Gotta love novelty items!<\/p>\n

Here’s Mira waiting patiently for the runners…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Where are the runners?<\/p><\/div>\n

Erika kept Luna entertained while Mira and I were yelling, “good job” to the runners. Actually, I was yelling, “Good Job” Mira was yelling stuff like, “Faster! Faster!” or “Daddy, he’s not running. Hey you, get running!” That’s an instant classic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Here they come!<\/p><\/div>\n

April was another birthday month for us. Erika turned another year and my mom was nice enough to volunteer to drive 2+ hours to Cleveland and watch the girls while we went to the movies.<\/p>\n

When Grandma arrived on Saturday, we were getting ready to goto another birthday party for a girl from Mira’s class, Abbey. I bring it up because it was at Chick-fil-A.<\/p>\n

For those of you not from the area, Chick-fil-A is like a hip Kentucky Fried Chicken. However, don’t let them fool you. They sell good old fashioned, fried chicken. That’s right, batter it, fry it, stick it in a paper box and let me clog my arteries. Mmmmm, so good.<\/p>\n

We don’t spend a ton of time there, but Erika and I were curious as to what a Birthday party would look like in a fast food chicken restaurant. What I didn’t realize is that they have an indoor play area and a giant cow that runs around and messes with the kids. Seriously, I have evidence…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Moo!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m not sure how we managed, but all the kids were\u00a0corralled long enough to actually get a group shot. You can probably guess who the birthday girl is, she the one sitting on the cow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Cheese!<\/p><\/div>\n

Ah, fun times…<\/p>\n

We made our first official visit to the local park this weekend also. Grandma was able to spend some quality time with Mira on the slide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Happy girls<\/p><\/div>\n

And the big surprise was that Luna got to have her first ride on a swing. Yeah, she’s a big fan…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

So happy!<\/p><\/div>\n

Luckily, I was also able to take a short video to mark the momentous occasion. Hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n
