24th with Russ' Family

 We met Russ and the kids at Liberty Park as we waited for Jenny to cross the finish line.  As we were waiting, we enjoyed seeing the parade with the nieces and nephews.  As we saw this float, both Todd and I looked at each other and thought "are we in Atlanta Georgia?"
 As Jenny took her last final steps after 26 miles, her 4 girls---Lauren, Emma, Sierra, and Savannah ran with her.  What was the true miracle is that Savannah wanted to be picked up and carried instead of run.  Jenny bent down and carried her 2 year old even though she was dead tired.  Who knew this runner was the mother of 6.  What a remarkable woman! 
 The kids loved seeing the crazy people at the parade and race.  You can see what a treat it was for the kids to sneak up and get pictures with this clown!
