This weekend is the Oak Harbor Apple Festival. We used to spend much of the weekend there when we lived out that way. Now we don't so there have been a couple of years that we haven't even gone at all. Not much has changed though. There are more food vendors than there ever were before and not much else. Well, there are Apple Dumplings and Berardi fries, so those alone make it worth the trip.
However, Rob decided to run the Apple 5k Run with Jeff and Darlene again. This time Eddie one of their bosses showed up and ran as well. Jourdyn, Rowan and Nadine enjoyed the excitement of the day with Grandpa throwing acorns at each other.
The thing that I enjoy the most about these races is the atmosphere of the races. Everyone lines up to see the runners off with cheers and good lucks. And everyone waits to see them in with the same cheers and praises for the person who finishes first as for the person who finishes last. Both runs Jeff has finished before Rob and Darlene. When he is done and after he gets a drink, he goes back and finds them and finishes the run again with them. Jeff and Darlene are such wonderful people! Very cheery and friendly! I'm really glad that they have convinced Rob to get into the races.
Towards Christmas there is a race called the "Jingle Race". They put bells on all the runners. Rob's excited for that one! Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to get out there with him and run.

Issues w/ the Smilebox this time, it's seems to be something w/ the loading process.
Glad Rob's got himself a healthy hobby, wish him much success! Hopefully we'll be able to come out & see a race or two. Brodie had a rugby scrimmage this afternoon. TTYS! Take care!
