26.2

Run Pop run!  Yea Pop!  The whole family packed up and went to Memphis last weekend to cheer on Bill as he ran his first marathon.  And for a great cause too - he raised money to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Jon and I have only completed half marathons, never a whole, so we give him props for sure!

This is the pre-race pajama party with Anna and Ben practicing their cheering



The start line


We caught up with Bill around mile 15 to cheer him on...


Anna and Ben had fun playing in the dirt and leaves


Then we ate lunch and went to the finish to meet up with Pop and cheer him on in the final stretch.  While waiting for him, we saw a banana, and it was necessary to take a picture.


Here's Pop rounding the corner at the finish line


The guy on the left tried to give him a high 5 but Bill was too focused to see and totally left him hanging ...too funny


Congratulating our Pop after the race.  Then we went back to Clarksdale for a short trip to see some friends at church Sunday and watch UGA's amazing first half and then sad loss to LSU (sniffle sniffle)
