LA Rock N Roll 1/2 Marathon

Saturday morning Liz and I went to the Expo to pick up our race numbers.

Sunday morning we left at 4:30am to head downtown and catch the shuttle to the starting line in Griffith Park. Amongst the 15,000 participants we found Liz's friend Mandi and we all rode the shuttle together.
Happy Feet before the race!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch with the Stroller Strides Group. It was the first time Gianna had been around a large group of kids. She has so much fun!

Gianna loved petting all the animals in the petting zoo. She even held out the hay for them to eat. The lama was very persistant with the food. He would try to take the whole food cup right out of your hand. But he was very gentle, just very hungry!

Gianna got to pick out a pumpkin to take home.

Day Hike

Krista and I decided to take the babies for a hike up Runyon Canyon. It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be.
Ethan was so happy the whole trip! He loved looking at all the other hikers and all the dogs.

It was cloudy out so the view wasn't the greatest.

There were 2 different trails that were connected by some stairs in the rocks. We couldn't make it with the stroller so we went up one and back down and then up the other trail. From the top of the 2nd trail we could see the Hollywood sign.

What a great day! We can't wait to find more trails to hike!
