Boston Marathon!

Hey Vlog Watchers!

Last week I flew to Michigan to visit my sister Mary, brother-in-law Ken and my nieces Magda and Elinor and my nephew, Liam. Ken was flying out to Shanghai on business on Friday. So Mary, the kidsand I all drove to Boston, MA together. Mary had qualified for the Boston Marathon and she was determined to run it. We left Ann Arbor on Friday at 8:00 AM and arrived to Boston at 10:00 PM. Wowza. It was a fun trip. Liam and the girls watched some videos (Liam is obsessed with Thomas the Train). We also did some blogging; as you can see below. We stayed at the home of my brothers and sisters-in-law. Tim and Mike bought the house in Mission Hill a few years ago and have made some incredible improvements. Mike and Shannon live on the top floor. Tim, Sascha and Leo live on the bottom. They rent out the second floor. It is pretty amazing. My mom, Munsey, came down from Maine and we celebrated her birthday! My father came up from Bethel, CT. We all gathered on Monday to cheer Mary on in the race. She ran it in an incredible time of 3 hours and 32 minutes! Wow! A grand time was had by all. Watch some of the footage below!

Joe! It's the most amazing video ever! I think you should direct music videos. But maybe only music videos with adorable little kids. He tried to eat her shirt. What was that?

Nice work Joe except I noticed I wasn't in it once. What gives?
Also, why aren't you plugging my own amazing blog.

Thanks for all the comments, blog watchers!

Mike- the vlog was about the kids and you are in it, when we are walking to the marathon you can see you behind elinor for a second.

Your blog officially sucks. I can't promote that thing. A blog means you actually update it.
