5K and Sad Plant Rescue

We entered our first race today, with a 5K in the nearby town of Eagle River. The Bear Paw Festival hosts a race every year and we were blessed with dry, moderate temperatures.

Prior to the start (the people-watching conditions were great)

And we finished! Cody finished in 29:29 and I finished in 30:34; we both ran the entire way (I thankfully had a companion from work, as Cody took off ahead 1/2 way through)

And of course we had to check out the parade, which was above average, in spite of its jungle theme

photo op. yes, please.

 We kept busy tonight after Cody got home from work by completing a project we had set out to do 3+ months ago: pinterest-inspired planters.

The assembly

Our low paid help

And here they are!

We had to run to WalMart to rescue a few sad-rack plants

And with the planter (proof is in the dirty hands)

The full view (we're being quite the plant people)

Our thoughts and prayers are with Cody's mom, Darci. Get well soon!
