Lawyers Have Early Alarm Clocks

We made our annual trek into DC for the Lawyers Have Heart 10K Race on June 13. The race started at 8AM and every year at about 7:25AM when we're trying to find parking in downtown DC and dash toward the start line, with children who've already been up for an hour and who are less than happy, I wonder to myself why we do these things willingly to ourselves. This year, however, was much easier because we had Grandpa Tim and Grandma Mary in tow to help us out!
We made it to the start line to wish him well and while Joe ran, the rest of us enjoyed feeding the ducks at the harbor.

After the ducks, listening to the DJ play obscene music loudly, and seeing a man on a boat wearing a terribly obscene shirt, we watched Joe come racing across the finish line. He was moving so fast, the picture was blurry (or maybe that was my amazing picture taking ability, but you only get one shot at a finish line picture, and this was the one I got).

After a few family pictures of triumph, we headed back to the harbour for more ducks and food.

Grandma Mary and Grandpa Tim supervised the fun.

We stopped for balloons (Xandra remembered these from last year and asked non-stop about them until we found them), drove home and enjoyed freshly made omelets by Grandma upon arriving home. After each race, I'm always left to wonder: Who's more tired? Joe or me.
