Flying Pig

This past weekend was the Flying Pig Marathon and a handful of other Flying Pig Races all in Cincinnati. Mike ran in the 10k race on Saturday (with Ryan, Rachel and Katie). They all did a great job! The money Ryan and Rachel made was donated to the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation. Thanks guys!! Luckily, the weather held out and we didn't get the rain the forecast was calling for. My mom and I took Ben downtown bright and early to watch. Ben looked so festive in his flying pig hat.

NOTE: Mike is the one in the red shirt. He's so fast, we could hardly get a picture!!

Love your pig hat, Ben!! I keep thinking I'd like to walk the half-marathon next year to raise money for CHARGE, too. But first I have to get motivated enough to start training for it! :-)

Now that is a classy hat. I really think it would have been wonderful if Mike would have worn a flying pig hat while he was running. Good to see Ben outside and enjoying all the sights.

You look so adorable Ben and I'm glad you were able to get out on Saturday. I know how fast your daddy is....I used to chase him when he was little. I see he hasn't changed. I think you got your floor speed from him.

Great pics of all of you.....and Grandma DeRoss! I still think you have to see that hat in person to get the full effects of it.....I'm surprised at how well Ben dealt with that thing being on his head....it's huge! It was great seeing all of you Saturday. I hope Mike is surviving from the "big run". :)

Love,
Aunt Jen

Ok, I KNOW Mike didn't pick out that hat. But it is quite adorable. I can't wait to see what hat Ben will be wearing next. Good job on the race, Mike!

I love the pig hat. Is the Flying Pig race a local event? I've never heard of it before.
