Here are the girls riding the Max train across the river. We parked at Legacy, since we still have stickers on the car, and took the Max across to Waterfront Park. Katya was so excited to ride the train!
And here we are waiting for the 8K start.
It was quite cold, in the high 30s and the girls got a bit cold. After Craig's run started I planned on finding a coffee shop to warm up in but that proved more difficult than I thought. It took a while to traverse and cross the race path and venture into downtown Portland. When I finally found a Starbucks it was packed to the doors with people who had already finished their race (the 8K was the last to start). So we continued on 4th street and finally found another Starbucks inside Pioneer Place Mall. I stood in line for a while but decided coffee wasn't worth the wait and went to find a bathroom. It was perfect because the mall was warm and the bathroom not very crowded but it all took longer than I wanted. By the time I ran back to Natio Pkway I knew that Craig had already finished. And I was on the wrong side, blocked by runners coming into the finish! I was really bummed that we missed watching Craig finish, and he had to wait for us, freezing from the run. But of course the priority was getting the girls warmed up. Over all it was quite a fun outing!
Here are a few pictures from last week with my girls:
Katya at 'open gym' at our local community center.
It is only a half mile from the house and costs 1$ per kid. We often meet friends from church here on Tuesdays and it is really great for rainy days.
Here is Reagan in a car!
Here is Katya playing in the hose, not this past weekend but the Sat before. We had a beautiful sunny day and she ended up in her bathing suit playing for an hour!
Snack break.
Reagan in sunglasses, that she will not keep on! They will probably get more use from Katya.
