At the beginning of the year, Clint decided he was going to run the White Water Marathom for Kenya. This marathon takes place in the town his father grew up in and where his extended family still lives. We rented a little place on the White River, like literally a couple hundred of feet from the river bank! It was the cutest place ever! We're all hoping to take another vacation there during a future summer so we can do some fishing and swimming!
We got up early Saturday morning and got ready to head down to where the marathon was taking place. Clint, Jake, and Tamara were already there and running. Gracyn wanted to head down and look at the river before we left.
A picture before they head out to the run!
Checking out the view!
Loving the river!
Making footprints!
We all cheered them on as they came thru the mid-way point. Gracyn had her pom poms and sign ready to go. We kept telling her to look for Daddy and that he was on his way. She was super excited til he passed her. She couldn't understand why he would just run past her. She cried so hard. It was so sad.
We went back to the cabin and Gracyn took a nap while the rest of ate some lunch. Clint's Aunt Cathy, Uncle Dale, and Grandma were all there to see him. A few hours later we got our jackets back on and headed back down to see Clint and Jake finish.
Helping Lala to the car. What a sweet girl!
Here they come!
The Marathoners!
Once we got back to the cabin it was gametime! The Hogs were playing Mississippi State. We cheered on the Hogs while Clint slept during the first half. That evening, Clint's mom made dinner for all the Thomas family. Clint's uncles and aunts came over and we just enjoyed time with family. We all stayed up late watching football. The #2, #4, #5 time all lost that night which moved the Hogs to #3 in the BCS poll! Woo Pig!!!
