Reber Round - Up!
We are studying medieval times this year so we headed to the Renaissance Festival in Kansas City. This was quite the adventure.
There was a lot to see.
A think just seeing the people in costumes was most entertaining.
Making our own coat of arms
Time for Apple Day Early morning set up
Some paint ball
We headed out to the Konza Prairie. I'm embarrassed that we have lived in KS over 2 years and did not know about this hike.
On Sunday Pascal ran a marathon. He will say it was his third. I will say it was his fifth. He doesn't count the one he did as a ruck march, carrying 30lbs on his back, or the one he did over a period of 24 hours in which he would run for a hour and then take an hour off. I say if you do over 26 miles in a 24 hour period ....its a marathon!
Pre-Race
At the start line
Feeling ready
and they are off.... check out this guy who ran barefoot! That's right 26.2 miles with no shoes.
Half way!!
Last lap.
Finished
Pascal and some of his guys that ran it
Here goes the barefoot guy agin. When we left he was still out there..... we cheered for him each time he passed. Meg and Owen were super into cheering for this guy and I think they felt bad for him but it was his choice to run this way. Each time he would go by Owen would yell, "you've got this!!"
And meg would yell, "looking good!" This made me smile!!
Early mornings in KS.
I will wrap it up with a few quotes from Owen this week. Lately, the things he says, just crack me up.
DEEP THOUGHTS BY OWEN
Owen -"Mom, I'm hungry to the Maximus"
Owen - "Mom, you know those things that blow good smelling air into a room?
Me - you mean like an air fresher?
Owen - "yea! I want one that pushes out the smell of bacon or the smell of Lowes into my room. I just love the smell of wood or bacon."
Owen - "Mom, when a tree dies will it be in heaven?"
Owen - "Hey mom! you know what I love.... I love to break open a tatter tot and see the smoke and then extinguish it into the ketchup!"
"Mom, I'm hungry" - Which I hear about 20 times a day!
and that my friends........is a wrap!!!
