We are excited to tell everyone that we all made it across the finish line!! Presten and my sister Katie finished in awesome time! I had an equipment issue that held me up at the start of the race. About 1/4 of mile in a I felt like something was wrong with my right blade and sure enough I look down and my front wheel had lost the nut to keep the wheel in place. If I would not of realized it my wheel would of just flown off. I found someone that was able to fix my wheel however, at this point I was probably a good 1/2 mile behind all 4,000 skaters! It took me a mile or two to catch up and start passing some skaters so I wasn't the absolute last person across the finish line. Presten finished in 2.5 hours and I was somewhere around 3 hours...which beat my time in 2004 so we are making progress! We skated from Two Harbors to Duluth right along the North Shore. We are excited that we finished...but we are sooo SORE today!
We drove up to Duluth on Friday and went took the kids to the Zoo. Jaxson loves animals so he had a really good time...minus this crazy monkey that we were watching through the glass. He decided to lunge straight at us..I thought I was going to have a heart attack! We then went and checked in at the hotel. We stayed at Black Bear Casino just a few miles outside of Duluth. We were really impressed with the hotel. They had a really nice heated pool and two hot tubs and a big buffet that we indulged ourselves in after the race!
Jaxson and Vada had fun hanging out with grandma and grandpa....there are always lots of treats!
Jaxson had two good days at preschool. He was a little bit of a stinker on Tuesday, but on Thursday he was a bit better..we'll get there. He just has these little meltdowns when I drop him off and pick him up, but is good in class.
Vada is starting to get her top two teeth in, so she been a little more fussy these last few days. Other than that she is into everything...all the time! One more month until she is ONE!!
Have a great week! The Bean's
