Chicago Marathon

We were lucky enough to spend a weekend with most of our Surber family!  One of our very favorite things to do!  Two of my cousins ran the Chicago marathon in honor of our cousin Jason.  It was so much fun to all be together and to support our runners!


It is so fun to see all these Surber girls together.  The count in this generation is 9 girls and 6 boys.  Which still shocks everyone since I have all boy cousins.  


Friday night we all went to Kirsten and Jason's house.  The kids ran wild and couldn't of had more fun together.  


We stayed at Ryan and Christy's new house.  The girls loved their dog Rue.  She looks just like our Bella did!


The girls loved spending time at Drew's house. 


Even a few of our Florida cousins were there.  Sweet Jaclyn loves our girls.


Come Sunday morning we were all up and ready for the marathon, lights on and this is what Claire looked like.  I guess it is a sign of a good weekend. 


We made it to the our spot along the marathon and were ready to cheer Todd and Jenn on!


Everyone wore our hat in memory of Jason and the book he wrote, The Running Father.




We were so proud when we saw them run by! 






We spent a little time in the city while we waited to meet everyone at lunch. 




It was an interesting day dragging 4 kids around the city from 9:00-4:00!  Thankfully everyone did great and had so much fun!



We met the whole family for a late lunch before heading home.   We are so happy we were able to be part of this weekend and celebration for our cousins! 


This little one was unbelievable!  Hardly a complaint and kept up like a champ...that is until the walk back to the car!  She just couldn't make it!
