Lukas even ran the last part with me and got a medal at the end. Which he proudly wore the rest of the day and told as many strangers as possible that "I won the race!"
Since we were down in the lovely Cottonwood area, we planned that Jeff and Lukas would stay after the race and take a ride on the Verde Canyon Railroad. Being a typical 2 1/2 year old boy, Lukas adores trains. He was in total awe of this train, whom he so fondly named Thomas- you know because he was blue. During the 4 hour trip on the train, the kid made friends with every person on the train, told them all that he won the race and showed them all the coloring books and snacks mommy had packed him for the ride. Good thing he's so cute and good thing the majority of riders were elderly couples who seem to always take a liking to this very outgoing and friendly blonde child of mine. He's already asked when he gets to go again, which means I think he loved it!
There's Thomas in the background! And Lukas handing his ticket to the engineer. How fun!
Love them. And this is a typical picture of Lukas. Boys...
Since Daddy was taking so many pictures of him, Lukas wanted to make sure he got a good one of Daddy too. Thanks, dude.
Well those were the highlights of our weekend. The rest was spent laughing about how I almost won the half marathon, Lukas telling us about the tunnel the train went thru, a baby shower for a dear friend, fellowship at church, and rest. Thank you, Lord, for rest. Hope you all have a blessed week.
