Laurie-Doo Shayler ran her first half-marathon on Saturday and the Shepards were there to cheer her on.Our two little cheerleaders first caught up with Laurie in Prospect Park. After watching her make two laps we packed up our "Run Laurie Run" sign (made by mommy) and headed to meet her at the finish line in Coney Island.
Unfortunately (for us) Laurie was a faster runner than we thought and she finished before we got there. That didn't mean the fun had to stop though. The gang headed for lunch near (not at) Nathan's. The party-pooper adults went home after that, but the Shepard family had rides to ride and beaches to dig in to.
Marni rode the Wonder Wheel (again). This time it was mommy's maiden ride.
After we exhausted our supply of ride tickets we headed to the beach. The gals got in their bathing suits and dug and splashed for another hour.It's no Old Orchard Beach, but Coney Island is certainly a good, close alternative.
