I showed Captain America how he was the inspiration behind my half marathon finish!

Tony Stark was less personable. It might have been because we excluded Iron Man from the Avengers Super Heroes Half Marathon. Hmmm.

After the Candlelight Processional dress rehearsal, we get to walk back by It’s A Small World on the the way to our cars. One of my favorite things about the dress rehearsal…getting to see this without people walking around.
