Saint John's "Marathon by the Sea"

Today we rushed through morning chores and headed in to Saint John to try and catch Tanya cross the finish line in the half marathon. She did it in 1:52 in Halifax, and we arrived at 1:53. But she found it a little more hilly than Halifax, so we were in luck, and made it just a few minutes before she landed in.
Congratulations Tanya! A time of 2:00:42 and in the top half.

After the run, the kids all went swimming at the Delta, where Tanya had stayed overnight. Then we took Carrie and Melissa to see the Reversing Falls.

Emma is staying with us for the week. She was quick to hop on the Gator and take everyone for a ride.

First school dance this past week. Garrett was chauffeur.

This week, Jesse and I finished up 3rd cut, did one more load of hay, had another excellent herd health visit with the vet, and started putting machinery away for the year. And I was told in no uncertain terms, that I should give this fellow, and his buddies, more pasture, or I might get poked. So I did.

And this picture is a week old. The week before last, Tanya went to Portage in Manitoba, to the McCain plant for work. Sarah and her sister, Ba Ba went up and looked after the kids all week. Tanya got the girls some new hats while she was there.
