Grandmas Race

 Last Saturday we drove down to St. George for the yearly half marathon. Dewey's family runs in it every year. This year Winnie (Grandma) ran in it. It is her second half marathon in the last couple of months. Which is exactly two half marathons more then I have done in my LIFE.
While the runners were doing their thing we went for a hike (ok more like a walk) with grandpa and the dogs.
The boys found rocks to climb.

I firmly believe that god make rocks for boys. They see one and need to climb it and are happy as can be doing it.

Zoey went for her first family hike (walk). We took the dogs with us since they have not walked on anything but snow in a month.

She did really well for her first time on a leash. Skip and Gus were good examples for her on how a dog is supposed to act on and off leash.

If rocks to climb wasn't enough how about rocks to throw in a river....icing on the cake people.

There is no age limit for boys :)

It was so nice to be in above freezing temps soaking up the sun.


My last post talked about living in the coldest place in the state, the reason we love it is because St. George is only 45 minutes away. They are generally 30 degrees warmer then us. So we are less then an hour away from warm (50 degrees is a heat wave to us at the moment) sun.

We got back to the race just in time to get a picture of Uncle Mark crossing the finish line.

A short time later Winnie crossed.

How amazing is she, after 13 miles she has a smile on her face.

She is already planning her next marathon in July. Dew and I are always invited to run. To which we say "oh yea definitely that seems like something we may do at some point" Nobody needs to point out that my mother in law and Dews Aunt and Uncle are running and we are not...... nope nobody needs to point that out.

After stopping for lunch Grandpa wanted to take the boys to this trampoline place.
Of course the boys were all for it.
I keep hearing about these places that are HUGE rooms filled with trampolines but this is the first one we had ever been to.
The boys LOVED IT.
In no time at all they were doing tricks and flipping around.

Dew and I jumped too and I can tell you it is a WORK OUT.
I love stuff like this the kids are having so much fun they don't even realize they are getting a ton of exercise.


Very fun day cheering on family, soaking up the rays and moving our bodies.
