A Tough Guy

My great grandnephew, Max Herr is all boy, and as his mom, Katy Herr says, wild and crazy!! He is also Katy’s “little sidekick” and best friend. Those things are common in 5-year-old boys, but what isn’t as common is for a 5-year-old boy to faithfully run with his mom when she is racing, and one of these days plans to actually race with her. Running marathons, as Katy does, is no easy task, since marathons are 26.2 miles and extremely difficult. Nevertheless, Katy can count on her son to get out there and pace her, so she is properly trained. Nevertheless, Max does just that and he is barely five. And by the way, Max’s great training helped his mom to take 2nd place in her first marathon!! A Tough Guy, that one!!

Max loves monster trucks and just this year, he started riding dirt bikes. Max still loves all superheroes and that is not surprising, since he is a real like superhero to his mom. He also loves his cousins, Reece and Asa Balcerzak. While Max is his mom’s best friend, he is also very much his daddy, Dylan Herr’s boy. They like to play golf, and Max is quickly learning the ropes. Max loves both of his parents so much and he is the light of their lives. He is comfortable in any setting and can usually be found doing whatever his parents are doing. Like his dad, I’m sure Max will be a natural athlete, and I can’t wait to see where his talents take him. Max loves to go hiking with hi parents, and like most kids, a place with a waterfall is always a big hit. Max also loves all things car and mechanical, and his cars had better be a tough as he is, because they are quite likely to find themselves going through the water and the mud. Max is a kid filled with adventure and energy, and he’s a sweet as he can be.

He loves plane rides and of course, hanging out with the grandparents and great grandparents. Like most people, Max loves the good old American hamburger, and Burger King is one of his absolute favorites. Max is a smiley boy, and when he smiles, his whole face lights up. Every day is a new delight to this kid. There is no such word as boring. He finds excitement wherever he goes. Today is Max’s 5th birthday! Happy birthday Max! Have a great day! We love you!
