The Streak Continues

I didn't run again today. I was up, but it was raining steadily, and the gym is closed for the holiday. I'm not dedicated enough to run in a steady rain. So, back to bed.

I did get in quite a bit of walking. The whole Jogger clan drove up to Madison to see some friends from grad school who now live on the East Coast, and who are just in town for a few days. We walked around the zoo, and then went to the UW campus to get some of their famous Babcock Hall ice cream.

The medium Little Jogger immediately bonded with their nine-year-old. They have a common interest in Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. Within minutes, they were joined at the hip. Our two girls took turns looking after their little girl, who is a cute three-year-old. The oldest and newest Little Jogger entertained her so well that by the end of the day, we couldn't tear them apart. We offered them the medium Little Jogger in trade for their little one, straight up, but they turned us down. Who can blame them? They went all the way to China to get her because they thought three boys was enough.

So yes, that is eight kids that we herded around all day. It was a great time, and I can't help but wish that our friends still lived closer to us. Perhaps we'll get out to see them one of these years.
