August 20 was the Parkersburg Half Marathon. This was Andrew's third time as a runner in this race. He finished the 13.1 miles with a personal best time of 2:16:04.69. We are very proud of him!
This was my third time as a bike patrol participant. My dad has led the bike patrol for several years. We ride the course and look for any runners/walkers in distress and help them out. This year I gave a woman some blister protection and got water for several participants.

Meanwhile at my parents' home, Greg enjoyed the morning with Gran.
 |
| "Good morning, Gran!" |
 |
| "What is out there to explore?" |
 |
| "I approve stroller rides in pajamas!" |
 |
| "Let me crank up the cute meter to maximum!" |
 |
| "That was a fun walk!" |
 |
| "This swing is fun!" |
 |
| "I can check out the whole backyard!" |
 |
| Playing with stacking cups |
 |
| "This ball looks familiar..." |
 |
| "I hope Uncle Dave doesn't mind if I borrow his record player." |
|
| Playing with the record player |
 |
| "Let's take a rest, Mr. Seahorse." |
 |
| "Gran, this toy is a bit tricky..." |
 |
| "I read on the kitchen floor at home too!" |
 |
| "That lamp is funny!" |
 |
| Hamburger, hot dogs, corn on the cob = yummy! |
