Beach in Madisonville

There is a little beach in Madisonville, a tiny town right beside us, on the river that you can only get to by some type of floating device (i.e. boat, jet ski). It's pretty cool because its small, but the water is only about a foot or 2 deep for quite a while. We went a few Saturdays ago with our buddies the Arceneaux's (Sommer, Ryan, Braewyn, Ciel). It was a blast. We stayed out there almost all day and the girls were nonstop.




Hannah's first time on a jet ski.

Wacky Wednesday Fun Runs

We just finished up our Summer Series of Wacky Fun Runs last night. A local running store holds these runs throughout the summer. They are a lot of fun and laid back. The run last night was that we had to have a partner 30 years age difference. Hannah and I fudged a little bit, but no one asked. Needless to say she was my partner.

She did so awesome. It's a 2 mile run and she ran quite a good bit of it. I was trying to teach her the art of pacing, but 4 year olds like to run all out and crash. She got a little better at the pacing deal, but who really cares. We finished in about 24 minutes, which I think is pretty awesome for her running most of it- stopping to put her in the stroller and so on and so forth. Hopefully she'll grow up to be a faster runner than I am. She did run it in hard to the finish line and everyone around cheered really loud for her- she blushed. OH, and her favorite part might be the watermelon and endless jugs of gatorade at the end. They also give out door prizes and Hannah won something last night, so that was equally as fun.

The run prior to the this one was a swimmy run. We had to wear our swimming gear. Hannah had her bathing suit on underneath, but that was a fun one too. She was kind of enough to let me borrow her floaties. AND, she ran in her flip flops- what a champ!
