Tinker Bell Half Marathon Recap Part 1

We had an amazing weekend, everything went really well and we had a ton of fun! I know that I have too much to say to have it all go into one post, so I'll start with Friday and Saturday before the race in this post and dedicate another post to the actual race and that day.

We got up at 3:15 on Friday and got the girls into the car and on the road by 4. The girls slept for about an hour and a half and then little bitty promptly started puking. Little bitty has a history of carsickness so it wasn't a huge surprise, but we weren't prepared for it so we improvised and were lucky to keep the mess pretty well contained, she puked again about a half hour later but then we made it the rest of the way with no incident. We got to the hotel and got ready to go to the parks. We rode rides and took pictures for about 5 hours.

Then we headed to the Expo and grabbed our bibs and get a few goodies, the girls were super tired, and so were the adults so we trucked back to the hotel for a well earned nap. The parks were closing early because of the Family 5K so we made it back to the room and into bed by 9.

We all slept like the dead until we had to get up for the girls races.

We headed to CA Adventure and split up since the races started in different areas. Big girl had her race first, we ran a great mile and then we had to scramble around and fine the family so that I could drop her with them and then go run the 200M with little bitty and mini me. This whole time hubs and I had to be careful to keep track of each other because you get one tag that matches your kids bib and you can't get through the barricades after the finish line without showing that they match. After the little girls race I booked back to run the 400M with buggy. The girls all ran like champs! After that we headed to Disneyland for a few rides before lunch at Goofy's Kitchen.

We napped again after lunch and headed to CA Adventure for a few rides before bed, but we didn't end up doing anything there since the lines were long so we went into Disneyland for souvenirs and a ride on Winnie the Pooh. Oh my gosh were we pooped after that! We headed back to the hotel and I took a bath to soak my aching legs and feet. We got to bed at 9 again. I woke up quite a few times before my alarm went off at 3:30, my nerves were working on overdrive!
