FISH ON!!!

Dad's fish -

Gma, Great Aunt and friends

Dancin' on Gpa's feet

Mom's fish (did I mention it was an early rainy morning, no makeup)

Addie's an ol' pro at gutting the fishes -

Off to the coast again. This time to see Gma Jeanne and Gpa Fred. We had such a good time. Adalie and Gma Jeanne spent Saturday playing while Rick, Fred, John and I went fishing and crabbing - it is amazing how much fun waking up early to go play on a boat in the rain can be...especially when you are catching big fish and lots of crab. I caught a monster and we all brought in lots of crab, so what better way to celebrate a good weekend than with a crab feed with family and friends :) The next morning we were back at it with Rick catching the big fish this time...not to mention the three that got away - so close, one was tin the net (at least a 40 pound beauty) when the reel detached from the pole. I think it might have been the first time Fred has heard me cuss and yell at another living creature, sorry Fred. hahaha next time fish, just wait, next time - we'll be back!

Run from Newport to Waldport -

This is what normal people do for fun...hahaha, okay maybe not but those training for a marathon love the opportunity to run from town to town, literally. Thursday Rick, Addie and I all drove over to the coast again to go deep sea fishing and running. Fishing was a bust because of the huge swells but that just gives us another excuse to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Handschuch again. We had a great weekend playing cards, playing with bubbles and walking on the beach. What a great trip. Not to mention Rick and I were able to get our "long" training run in for the marathon - Newport to Waldport via 101 on foot. Super pretty!

Labor day weekend -

Adalie's first night away from mom and dad... (thank you Grandma and Grandpa)

On a last minute decision Rick purchased an entry for us to run the Wine run in Dayton (run to Carlton) for my 30th birthday - happy birthday! My parents Gma & Gpa Handschuch offered to watch Addie over night so Rick and I could travel to Dayton and have a date before the run - wow, super nice. On Friday we drove to Waldport, dropped Addie off and headed out to Salem Saturday afternoon, so excited to eat a meal with my husband without taking shifts - the run was beautiful, the wine was amazing. After running hard for 13.1 miles free wine is crazy good, bring on the sugar. :)
