Kennecott mines

Our neighborhood has an activity once a week and it has made this summer a little more interesting. It gets us out doing something other than trying to entertain our children with otter pops and water balloons. This past week we went up to the Kennecott mine and toured the place, watched the movie and of course posed for pictures. After we went to a park nearby and had a picnic. It was great.

Looking through the microscope and seeing the details of rocks from the mine.

The mine itself. They said that the Impire State building wouldn't even come half way as deep as the mine hole. Crazy!

Bear Lake 1/2

I know I'm a little late about 3 weeks since this race but better late than never.
Bear Lake Utah.
June 13th I ran the 1/2 marathon with my sister Jenny (this was her first one) and her husband Brian who was no where near us on the race because he is FAST!!
My sister Janice came out from KY and ran the full marthon. Her 10th to be exact.
Friday night Jenny and Brian treated us to some yummy Olive Garden in Logan Ut.
My sister Ruth who also lives in Logan was so awesome and stayed the night at Jenny and Brians with all the kids so that the 4 of us could go down to Garden City and stay at a condo there. Thanks Ruth!!

This was me Friday night being a little on the silly side. It was a rainy weekend and rain was expected during the race so we stopped and bought some garbage sacks. I only ran with the top part of my beautiful outfit.

Jenny and I nearing the end. Jenny you did awesome and I'm so proud of you for never giving up and pushing through the pain. You Rock!!!

The 4 of us at the finishline. I did get a medal but forgot to put it on.

I loved this race and will totally do it again next year. It was beautiful and I have never been so happy while running. This is the first race that I finished singing and smiling. I LOVED IT!!!!
Our times were...
Brian at 1:46
Me and Jenny at 2:09 and
Janice the full at 4:11
