Ragnar - October 2010

We decided to go watch Ryan run in the Ragnar in Las Vegas. Both of us running doesn't work so great - especially with two kids now since the race lasts over 24 hours.  Ryan ran in it this time and had a great time.  The kids went and we watched him run. You won't see Ryker in very many pictures because he just hung out in the car most of the time sleeping.  It was a good time though.

At this exchange they had just locked the keys in the race van so we were excited to be there in time for Aaron's arrival!

Nyah loved playing with the flag under Uncle Aaron's supervision.

Jana running in at the end - she doesn't even look tired. :)

Nyah smiling and the evidence of what she had been up to...

Sleepy girl - it was a busy trip.

Ryker on the other hand was still wide awake.  Probably because he spent so much time sleeping in the car.
We enjoyed watching them run and were grateful to have the GPS to help us find our way to the different exchange points.  They did a great job and of the races we have participated in, it was the fastest time yet.  I'm sure the participants would agree the races are exhausting but there are always lots of memories!  A few of the memories from the trip would be watching the race itself, watching Jabbawockeez, spending some time on the Strip, them locking the keys in the race van, the zip line by the hotel, renting a hotel without stairs (and being sad Ryan was running as I took trip after trip to our room), some great weather, and lots of driving.
