Stampede



Cassi ran in the Boston Marathon. This is something that she has done before. She actually has done enough marathons that I think it is safe to describe her as a marathoner. So, Any way I was so nervous that we would miss her,and we were so excited to cheer her on. Here we are waiting!



The first guy that ran by had a HUGE lead.



The runners because trickling by us. At first there were just a few and slowly the nembers grew until there were thousands of people running by it was amazing. Something likke 62,000 people ran in it this year. we even got a shot of Lance Armstrong... here you go Faf this pic is for you!



It was a gorgeous day. We were really good at keeping Alex covered up, but Patrick and I both got sun burned. My skin hadn't seen the sun in a long time. I know I knwo sun burns cause skin cancer, but it was so invigorating to get some color in our cheeks... we looked alive!



I think that this shot is really fun. You can see Alex with all his energy. he was such a good boy all day. We skipped his nap to see the race.



Cassi's mom jumped across the line and ran and gave Cassi a huge hug. Actually Cassi's mom ran up the road a bit to find Cassi and Cassi ran write by her. So Cassi acutally had to run back up the road a bit to get her mom. Here is a cute pic of them together.



Her mom is also a marathoner and acutally had just run in a marathon a week before the Boston. So she crossed the line and ran the last six miles with Cassi. It was really cool to see them running off together.
