A TON of Running

Drew and I are continuing our running as we train for the Chicago Marathon coming up on October 12. We have been running with the YMCA training group. The group is actually training for the Evansville 1/2 marathon, but we enjoy getting out with all the people. They take pictures each week and Keelin and I made two of them. Picture 1. Picture 2.

The website is http://www.evansvillehalfmarathon.com

I (renee) ran 17 miles this morning and felt great! I am getting there!

Golf Outting in Illinois

We spent Friday in Decatur, IL for Drew's Uncle Jim's memorial golf scramble/ fundraiser with dinner, auction, and dancing. We had a great time and had beautiful weather.

Busy Weekend

Our weekend started Friday night with Uncle Don and Aunt Harriett's 50th Wedding Anniversary party at Hornville Tavern. Saturday morning we ran in the Evansville 5k race. Saturday evening was Toyota Logistics night at the Otters baseball game. Sunday we spent swimming at Mamaw and Papaw's house.

Keelin kept running back to the kitchen to see papaw. She would give him big hugs and steal his glasses, as you can see in this picture.

Florida

We spent a week in Florida on vacation! We started our time at Daytona Beach and then stayed at Orange Lake Resort and Country Club. We had a wonderful time! My parents flew in late Sunday night to spend the week with us.

She is clapping because she loved the beach!
Our little beach bum!

Stepping into the Atlantic for the first time!

Keelin enjoyed playing in the sand.

Keelin decided she loved the water and waves!

Playing at the playground by the beach

Keelin loved the splashing water at Splash Lagoon at Orange Lake

Our villa was on the Crane's Bend golf course. Perfect name for the course being that 2 different cranes came up to our backdoor during the week. Keelin is saying, "Mommy, look...duck"

Crane #2 (much bigger than crane #1)

Keelin loved the Planet Hollywood Globe at Downtown Disney! She said, "Ball, ball" every time we walked past it. We took her to Downtown Disney twice.

She wasn't a big fan of the character statues. Every time we tried to take her picture or get her close to one, she latched on to me. Look how harmless Spot looks!

We ate at Rainforest Cafe and had the Volcano dessert! Keelin couldn't take her eyes off of it!

Another picture at Downtown Disney

Keelin enjoyed Downtown Disney, but we decided not to take her to a park because she is still a little too young. Next summer!

Coloring with Grandma in our villa

We took Keelin to City Walk at Universal Studios and we ate at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville! Her menu was also a parrot mask, which she loved!
