Fall/sunshine

This past weekend was a beautiful one in Springfield, Mo. USA. My sisters and dad ran in the annual Sunshine Run, which started and ended at Hammons Field downtown. They made it through the 10K and high-fived Louie the Cardinal as they crossed the finish line.

We all had breakfast at Scramblers then headed back to our house for a short visit. My mom and dad couldn't stay long, but we sat out on the front porch for a while and enjoyed the weather and the dogs. Lane's funny pug Chuck kind of wears our Book out for some reason...

Lindsay and Lane and I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening in Branson, feasting at Cantina Laredo and doing a little shopping at the Landing, the Maxx and the outlets. Lindsay and I both came home with new Coach purses. Lane had to head back to KC first thing Sunday morning, and I don't guess I'll get to see her again until Thanksgiving. Ryan and I are hoping to be in shape enough to run the Turkey Trot 5K with my sisters that morning. We've racked up zero miles since that resolution, so we'll see...
