Kirk's Run

April 29, 2013

Today we went downtown to watch Max's best friend Kirland run.  She has been participating in a kid's running club at school this spring.  They have been logging their miles in cooperation with ING Kid's Rock Marathon program.  The goal was to complete an entire marathon over the weeks of running at school.  The day after the Country Music Marathon the kids all came downtown to run their last mile.  They got to cross the big finish line and mark their 26.2 miles with their team.  Kirland did a fantastic job.  We were proud to be their to cheer her on to the finish.  Kirk a dirk is one special little lady!!

Horseback Riding

April 13, 2013

We made a weekend getaway this year for Tristan and Kayla's birthdays.  We, along with Chris and Dianne,  met Shannon and Ty and the kids in Gatlinburg for a weekend of fun.  Kayla has been wanting to horseback ride for a long time.  She decided this fall that she wanted that to be her birthday party this year.  Ty set it all up in Pigeon Forge and we had a great time.  Mary Kate even got to ride with Pawpaw.  She told her horse to "getty up, getty up, horsey"  the entire ride.
