"Go Grandpa Go" from Ocean to Sound!




Sunday was the Ocean to Sound relay/run and we were there to help support the team. The Ocean to Sound is a relay race that starts at Jones Beach and ends in Oyster Bay. The team consisted of 8 runners, all who ran over 5.5 miles each. Some runners even ran 6.8 and 7 miles. Grandpa was one of these runners along with Karen, Aunt Kathy, Dan, Eric, Patrick, Gail and then bringing it home for the team was Uncle David. This race is fun because we get to follow the runners all throughout the race in our cars cheering them on, blasting our car radios, and giving them much needed water. Hailey enjoyed yelling out the window to all the runners especially Grandpa where she would yell "Go Grandpa, Go". The kids held up very well being in the car for what is a very long day. The race is a total of 50 miles. I'm sure we'll be back to cheer the team on next year.
