Three Cheers for Endorphins

I ran my first half marathon yesterday and loved it! It was a gorgeous morning, a beautiful course following the river, and two hours and nine minutes with a great friend. Krisi and I have run together for years, starting back when I was a college student on summer staff at camp. We now have seven kids between the two of us and were thrilled to see them all (not to mention Andy, my folks, and Matt, Krista & Anna) at the finish line yesterday.









The Sonneland kids then showed Grace & Isaac the Radio Flyer slide and the ever popular trash-eating goat.



Eli was asleep in the stroller so didn't make the picture.


Dad and I also took G & I on their first carousel ride. Grace loved it, but after the first minute or two, Isaac wasn't so sure...
