Claire after a long race

Twin Cities marathon kids fun run had the kids running a half mile - which was 4 times around an indoor track. Needless to say there was a little walking - but she made it. She got a medal and a jump rope - perfect for the jump rope for heart coming up.

Fire and ice

We went to the fire and ice celebration and it lived up to its name. A first for us, fire works in the snow.
