Weekending

It was a busy weekend for the Creamer clan!

We started things off with a birthday celebration 

for Doug's dad (a.k.a. "PoPo").

We had a fish fry since it was Friday and  Doug did the cooking.

Fried catfish, french fries, hush puppies, and coleslaw.

And if that wasn't enough carbs and fat for everybody,

we finished the meal with a brownie bottom ice cream cake covered in crushed salted peanuts and chocolate!

 Then Mary Grace went around sampling everyone's desert after finishing her own and wishing THEM a happy birthday.

I got up at ridiculous o'clock Saturday morning 

for a 5k run at Lake Texana.

As you can see, it was a glorious sunny day...NOT.

It was foggy and rainy, but at least it was cool 

and the scenery was lovely.

I had an awesome walking partner.

So awesome, that we ended up walking 4.5 miles instead of 3!

(That's what you get for following the skinny people ahead of you!)

I think we should have gotten some kind of extra special medal for THAT.

We got passed up by a very pregnant woman 

and four old ladies...

but hey,

WE FINISHED!

(Six months ago I could even walk one mile read about it HERE.)

After the race, I literally raced back to town to see our Danny 

in the Little League opening ceremonies.

After introducing the teams, and each player individually, they auction off a cake for the team.

Some of these cakes went for as high as $500!

Baseball is a pretty big deal here in Wharton!

After a quick lunch, we headed to the ball park 

for Dan's first game.

He was so excited!

 And then it began to rain...AGAIN!

It wasn't until the 5th inning until they finally called the game.

We were all soaking wet and chilled to the bone but I called first in the shower and was in bed before 7pm!

And no, I have no shame in that!
