We went to the Quad Cities for the holiday weekend. Friday night I stayed in with Leah while Brian took Jadon to see fireworks. Saturday turned out to be cool and rainy all day, but we didn't miss out on anything and still had a great time. Larry, Brant, and I ran the Firecracker 10K in the morning. It would have been a good race, but they misdirected the 10K runners and we ran a longer distance. We know our times, but not the exact distance we ran, therefore our results mean nothing. I chalk it up to family bonding time and a good training run for the Bix 7, a 7 mile race I'll do at the end of July. Later that day we went to the parade. The kids had fun seeing all the special vehicles and collecting candy. That night Larry and Cindy babysat while Brian and I spent the evening with Vicki and Keith. Instead of boating we went to the newly renovated Captain's Table for dinner and hung out on their back deck, enjoying champagne and a panoramic view of fireworks around the QCA. No pictures, but definately a fun night. Sunday morning we took the kids to the Iowa Machine Shed. After a hearty breakfast, the kids had fun climbing on the tractors and pigs. What made this weekend so special was all the good quality time we had with Larry, Cindy, Vicki, and Keith. It's also a time to be thankful for our great country and to cherish the freedom we have.
