The weather was perfect and there were lots of great costumes. It was an early morning for us; so early our boys barely twitched an ear on our way out, so they just slept in.
Not us though! Aunt Christine started early to run the 5K, and Grandpa and Uncle Joe ran the Half Marathon.
Grandpa was actually just wearing the trash bag to stay warm, it wasn't part of his costume.
This girl ran a 10K as a T-Rex. Not sure if that's impressive or just stupid.
The race ran past a lot of the iconic sites of St. Louis. Since Uncle Joe is still a bit out of shape, he took every opportunity for a photo op along the course (Totally not cause I was tired).
Uncle Joe is a fan of street art, and took advantage of being around some of the neat art on the St. Louis riverfront. No Banksy pieces that I saw though.
We all had a good time, got some medals, and Grandpa even won a pumpkin pie for placing in his age group! Way to go, Grandpa!
Hope everyone is doing well in London! We miss you guys.
Way to go everyone. The weather looks much warmer in St. Louis. Grandpa would have needed some serious 7-ply to stay warm here. Might have needed some of those cool sleeves too. I am working on the blog after my morning rain waiting for Uncle Scott to wake up. Jet lag is a lot funnier when it is someone else.
