Busy, Busy, Busy

I've abandoned my little blog lately. We have been crazy busy having fun!

Little Due got to go to his first Reds game and got a ball from a bullpin pitcher... They made the playoffs for the first time in 15 years!

Waving to the pitchers.

Front row seats!

The weather is changing too so I dug out some jeans from the boxes of hand-me-downs my cousin gave us.  Some of the knees were worn thin and I remembered seeing applique knee patches somewhere in blogland recently.  Here's my version.

Lion and Elephant

I think he likes them!

We also took a trip to the zoo...



Climbing the fences.



Saying hi to the farm animals.



Bear, big bear.



Monkey!



Through the fences.

Over the weekend the Fire Department did a Safety Event at our local home improvement store.  After I ran 13 miles we spent all day there, 8:30-3:00, on my feet talking to people about the departement and Child Passenger Safety.  (Of course I didn't get any picures of my set up, oh well.)  Talk about exhaused!  The highlights of the day were building a fire boat with Gran and Peepa, the medical helicopter landing and cutting up a car.  (We are wearing pink for Breast Cancer Awarness, a fundraiser for all the area departments in October.)



Building a Fire Boat!

Hello Helicopter.





Thinking about it.




Me and Little Dude.



And if that wasn't enough we went to an air show at the city's 'older/smaller' airport (its mainly used for corporate jets and personal aircraft) to check out some planes, including some WWII bombers.

Totally cool terminal.



 





Totally cool old buildings.

The Bomber!

Looks like a salute to the Air Force Plane.





Cute!



Between working on Little Dude's Halloween costume (he wants to be a purple stegosaurus) and the last couple of weeks of marathon training I'm not getting much else done right now. I've got a 22 miles on schedule for Saturday before the Auburn vs. Kentucky game!
