Chicago Marathon 2019

Here's our little diva incognito. Our granddaughter is almost 2!

Last weekend was the Chicago Marathon. We traveled to Chicago to hang out with our son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandpuppy and to support our son who was running the marathon on Sunday.

We arrived Friday afternoon and in the evening went to a nearby town Fall Festival where Harper was going to trick or treat for the first time. Grandpa is helping this little monarch butterfly get ready by putting on her antennae.

It was a crispy fall night so the antennae had to be replaced by a hat.

This festival was so much fun! There were vendors, games, music and lots of pumpkin carving.

And then the coat had to come on. Brrrr! 

Sunday morning was a little cool but it all went well. Riley did absolutely fantastic and even beat the goal he had set for himself. Riley is in the light green shirt.

Our daughter-in-law, Lindsey, did such an awesome job getting us around by vehicle or putting us on the right train to cheer Riley on in several spots along the way. The marathon is 26.2 miles long.

Here he comes!

High fives!

Harper cheers "Go Daddy!"

Here's a video Steve took. Hopefully it will work for you to view. After clicking on the start button in the middle of the screen, you can make the screen bigger by clicking on the bottom right square button.

The race is over and his teeth are chattering. Let's get this guy warmed up!

We also spent time over the weekend in the park. This grandma hasn't been on a teeter totter for eons!

Oh, and grandpa and Harper made soup. Well, they were making soup. I guess the conversation changed. I'll get details from my grandpuppy Gus. :)
