Chick Fil A Run in Athens, GAA

Chick Fil A originated in Georgia, so what better way to celebrate than to do a Chick Fil A fun. The kids got to run the kids fun run (1 mile) in pouring rain. They were supposed to get prizes for their costume, but the organizers forgot. In the end, they gave the kids some cow bells that they were able to use when mom ran her half-marathon.
Look! A junior Chick Fil A cow. That was pretty special.
Lisa had to get up extra early for the starting line. The cow were all out there, celebrating with the runners. She had no idea how hilly Athens, Georgia was. Next time we do a race, we check out the hills. 
A few thousand people came out for the race. It's next to a university, so lots of students participated in this race.  During the race, the cows would cheer us on. They also threw cow toys at us. During one point of the race, they were giving out chicken nuggets. One lady in front of Lisa ate one and quickly upchucked the nugget. Eating food during a race is usually not a good combo. Lisa decided to wait until after the race to eat the complimentary Chick Fil A food. haha!  Yes, at the end of the race, all the runners got a sandwich and gift certs to go get our desserts. It was worth the trip to run with cows in Georgia.

20th Anniversary Celebration Activities

The kids club on the cruise had a free family bingo day, and Paxton won tickets to the butterfly museum on Key West. It was a beautiful museum. Thanks, Celebrity, for the free tickets.
This cruise took us to Key West, Florida and Cozumel, Mexico. Here are some pics of our excursions.
We wanted to snorkel at Cozumel. Josiah sat in the boat and entertained those that didn't know how to swim. We enjoyed swimming with the fish. The waters were lovely.
We did a lot of this. We saw lots of jumping fish, dolphins, and even a hammer head shark swim by. 
Celebrity's kids club was one of the fun one. They had a family photo scavenger hunt one day, and we had to take silly pics all over the ship. We came in second place and won several nice prizes: bags, cups, gift certificates. It was worth the silliness.
One of the silly pics we had to take. It turned out pretty nice.
Scavenger hunt in front of the buffet. People thought we were nuts, but ah well.
Stealing more food. As if we needed anymore food.
Even the officers on the ship were in on the fun. We had to HIGH five an officer, and all of them were silly with us. Very friendly group.
Hope is drooling over the sushi. Unfortunately, they didn't use the right rice, and it tasted dry. It was still very pretty.



We finally made it to the most southern point in the United States.
