This is the first year we have done Easter baskets and egg hunting. Since Ryker is old enough to find eggs we hid 2 dozen around the house. It was really fun to see him find them and the treasured m's (m&m's) peeps and jelly beans. Alana wasn't sure what was going on but she loves to watch us looking for eggs. Ryker likes marshmellows but didn't really like the peeps.
Alana is getting bigger all the time. She can now play with her butterflies. Ryker thinks he can read a book instead of take a nap. the book was propped up but by the time we got the camera for a picture it had fallen over. What a cutie!
Here is the viedo of Chris crossing the finish line - I don't know why my camera takes it showing lengthwise but then when you go to watch it is is not turned.
April 16th was the 2nd Annual Legacy Duathalon. Since Chris' toes have some issues from running the SLC 1/2 marathon last weekend Chris decided to participate in the short race. It was a lovely day for a race and he did really well- it has a stagered start so that is why everyone is lined up ready to go. They do a run bike run. I have a hard time finding him in the crowd he wore his SLC shirt - finally he was easy to pick out wearing bright yellow!
Chris has really gotten into running and he said the other day that he was addicted to it. He has been training for the SLC 1/2 Marathon for a while and it finally came. We all got up early and headed down to SLC. We thought there woould be more traffic so we were there in plenty of time. Alana, Ryker and I waited by Sugar House Park and waited for Chris and Greg to pass by. Ryker kept running back and forth on the lawn so he is fuzzy.
Then there they were, Ryker got a high 5 from Dad, and we headed off to the finish line. I still have not been able to get a good finish line picture of Chris. I am lookingand looking and then there is he over the line, nuts. He had a great time running the 13.1 miles- 2:04:36!
We had the chance to go the the Discovery Gateway with Megan's Joy school group. Ryker was running all over trying to take it all in, if I blinked or looked away off he would be. I had him dressed in red so I could see him easier but there was a large school group there and they all put on red smocks- so it wasn't very helpful. He loved playing in every area, construction, the house, water table. At the store you woud have thought he was on supermarket sweep he was zooming about and taking things that were in other carts if there was no one with them.
They have an actual medical helicopter outside on the roof that the kids can sit in the front and the back. I am not sure about the face he is making- Alana had a great time too especially when she fell asleep in the carrier.
