poor Beau could not understand why there were all of these balls bouncing all around him and he was not allowed to play with them!
The boys were so sweet letting Beau use their basketballs!
they were even trying to help pick them up so that he could shoot the ball.
Tal is tall enough so that Beau could shoot the ball! He wanted his daddy to do this over and over!
Here is Tal holding him back from going on the court when they were playing!
look how little he looks!
Me and Missy McMinn SURPRISED Mary Bratton and Megan and took them to Funtime Skateland.
They had NO idea where we were going and they didn't even know that skating rings even exist. ( and is it ring or rink... i don't even know...)
anywho... it was the best time!
look at their faces when we walked in!
there she goes.... and momma is coming too... wait up! 
Mary Bratton skating with Missy and Megan McMinn
We all skated for hours! They girls caught on really quick and they were so happy to be there!
They even did the hokie pokie like they did when i was little! I was skating around like a 10 year old! Tal kept laughing b/c Mary Bratton kept going on about what a good roller skater that mommy is. A skill that will definiltey come in handy at 33 years of age! It all came back to me!!!!!! I want to go again.... I'll ask Mary Bratton if she wants to come! 
Tal ran the 1/2 marathon today and I took Mary Bratton to run the kids 1 mile run!
She did great and she has so much fun doing these! She is always asking us when she can do another race!
As soon as she was finished we walked down to watch Tal finish his 13.1 miles.
I'm so proud of them both!

The guy on the microphone was really loud and Mary Bratton wouldn't take her hands off of her ears!

Amy couldn't get pictures the first time so she told them to go out and do it again! they were a little confused!
My little runner!
Here she is when she got home showing her medal to Ta Ta.
Thank you Ta Ta for watching Beau!
Tal ran the 1/2 marathon today and he did great! I didn't have my camera b/c I ran the mile with Mary Bratton
