Hometown Weekend

We headed up to Chapin over the Labor Day Weekend to visit with family and old friends.  We kicked off the weekend on Saturday morning running a 5K with Sheri, Neita and some of my friends from high school and college.  I learned that I much prefer running in the Lowcountry.  Overall it was a great race and James, Sheri, Neita, Clay and I all placed because there were only about 60 runners of dedicated training and hard work.

On Sunday we went to a barbecue at Mrs. Atkins house - my old librarian!  This was truly a full circle moment (you know how much I love those).  I watched my children play with the children of folks I went to preschool with!

I went to preschool with all of the fellas in the back row (minus my hubby).  How cool is that!

On Monday we went to the Chapin Labor Day parade.  I had signed up to be a vendor.  It turned out to be a super hot day and I don't think many folks were ready to buy knitted wear just yet.  Oh well, it was still great fun taking the girls to the hometown parade that I grew up going to.  They loved it.
