And finally, the running of the TOU half marathon was a lot of fun with some new faces to the group. Rob and Sherstine did amazing as this was their first half marathon. Richard and Sara and friend were great to have there for motiviation and Kristine left everyone in the dust, especially Kara and Kindall who finished which is all that matters. All in all it was a fun day with family and friends.
Getting close to the end of summer we had a lot of time to reflect on the meaning of life while pulling the tube. The Weber County fair had a couple of new participants this year which turned out pretty good for our family. Now the eggs that we sell will go for a premium price as they are blue and red ribbon winners. The kids chose a day at Chuck E Cheese for the day before school started with lots of games and prizes gallore. And of course to top it all off was Reed's wedding. My favorite picture in this one has to be of Heath and Jane asleep, this was taken roughly 5 minutes after they were both complaining of how they couldn't fall asleep because they were scared. My favorite line of Kristine's is when she tells them, "you should be scared, scared of me coming in there!"
On the way home from the Grey's we got to hang out with our long lost friends the Baughs and the Slavens in Bear Lake. It was a lot of fun to see them and let the kids play for the afternoon while catching up. I wish we all lived closer together so we could do this more often. The zoo was also featured this summer along with Lagoon with the family, Flaming Gorge which led to many star pictures and tubing. As I'm labeling my favorite pictures in all the collages this one has to go to the neighborhood bike parade where Heath found his own bathroom, you gotta love little boys!
I can't believe that summer has come and gone, unfortunately our pictures are much the same as last year, just older kids. Fun at Willow park with Max and Hudson, Fourth of July extravaganza at Randy's cabin in Wyoming along with the annual Grey's River four wheeling/camping trip. My favorite picture is the one with Heath bungee corded to the four wheeler so his head wouldn't flop while he was asleep, nice work Tyler! Jackson Hole to see the Bar J Wranglers, some horseshoes and smores, it doesn't get much better than that.
