The Driskells: spring beach trip

shew, what a quick but fun beach trip that was!

During our last beach trip in the fall, Margaret and I decided that we would give the Seaside Half Marathon a shot this year. It sounded like such a great idea, as we lounged on the beach, she was just getting into running and I was just getting back into it. We both worked very hard and I'm so proud of how great we did! I ran it in just over 2 hrs (2:02:09) and was very happy with that time!

I barely got my camera out this trip, but here are the few pics I did take, along with a few borrowed from Margaret ;)

what a great group of kids we have and I can't get past little William-- how fun it is to see someone with as much energy as our Quinny-Quinn. He sure did give her a run for her money and it was pretty cute to see. here we are on our first full day, checking out the beach at Sister's condo and realizing how very cold it was going to be during our trip!

this was pre-race and we were FROZEN solid!

post-race, everyone was ready to go home and get warmed up but we managed to get the little ones together for a shot of their cute "run mommy run" tshirts. when we ordered them, I had no clue they would be buried under 2 layers of winter coats!! Margaret and I have already decided we need to run another race, if only so they kids can wear their shirts again ;)

Here we are on our last day-- it finally warmed up some and we headed over to Sandestin to meet the Verdigets for lunch and some play time

Tara & I use to think it was a challenge getting 2 girls to smile at the same time!

check out this crew

I can remember a picture of these two when they could barely sit up!

oh, how these girls love to run!

she is growing so fast, I can hardly stand it! and just check out these shoes. she refuses to wear anything but these. we even bought a new version of the same shoe but she HAS to wear the "old sparklies"
