Run or Dye and Marty's 29!

Saturday I had another 5K. I had never done a color run before and I always wanted to, but if you've ever checked prices, they're expensive. I just could talk myself into spending that kind of money on a run when I have other things it could go to. However, this time I pre-registered, and had 2 coupon codes. I had a discount of 50%! So I signed up!

It was hot on Saturday and that "dye" is not good for the lungs, so I ran less than I normally do. But I she'd just over a minute off my time! If I would have ran like usual it would have been a minimum of 3 minutes off my last 5K time! 

Anyways, I loved it but I don't think I'll do another one. I'm still coughing up the dye 3 days later.

After

I think I have ruined the clothes I wore that day.

We had dinner that night out at Papa and Grandma's. Dad made pork chops. We also had deviled eggs, fruit, carrots, corn and potatoes. Sooo yummy! It was a celebration of May (Loyale and Bruce) and June (Marty) birthdays! For dessert was a Sundae bar. And the kids got to go in the big tub!



Sunday was Marty's actual birthday. He's 29! He didn't get a ton from us for his birthday. But he needed a new pair of shorts so I got him those. And the kids got him kettle corn popcorn and a box of oatmeal cream pies, 2 of his favorite snacks. Mackenzie ended up being sick most of Saturday night and Sunday morning so I made French toast for his birthday breakfast. Once Mackenzie felt better Marty decided he wanted Qdoba for lunch. We came home and had a relaxing afternoon inside and out then had dinner at Famous Dave's in Grand Rapids. We haven't eaten there in at least 3 years so it was a nice treat. They have Texas sized BBQ and it's delicious. I brought half of my meal home and had it for lunch today!
Relaxing in the car and sleeping on the way home!

Finally a bit of an update on Mackenzie, she has a spot in preschool this fall!!! Three half days a week starting in the fall, she's sooo excited! And both of kids will be in catechism in the fall also. Mackenzie had her first year this year, and Cameron's first year starts in the fall. For the next 2 years they will be in the same class. They're both excited for that to start as well.
