Last weekend I went home to Sylvania to visit my family and celebrate one of my best friend's 30th birthday. When we first got there we wanted to go and watch my brother Zach run in his last Cross Country race of the season. This was the first time I have been able to make it to a meet. It was hilarious! Not because of the runners or anything, but because of how intense my dad gets trying to watch my brother run. As soon as I parked the car my dad scooped Max up and started running to the starting line. Poor Max was just looking back at my Mom and I with wide eyes as he bounced along in Papa's arms. Nana and I could not stop laughing.
Once the race started, the five of us ran from spot to spot to get a good view of Zach while he ran. It was really neat watching him run. He looks so grown up- I can't believe he is already 16.
