Day 1 of the Morgan County Fair

 

Do you see the time recorded on my phone?

Yes it was 6:00 AM and we were up and getting ready 

for the 5K Walk/Run for the Morgan County Fair.  I had signed up the family

back in March I think and thought this would be a great way for us to get

a little exercise routine going.  My intention was to go and walk this route at least

once a week.  Well today was our first time walking the route and Mackenzie had to fill

in for Jim.  Jim is working shift work now and did not get home from work in time

to participate.  (does something smell fishy about that?..., just saying)

 Anyway,  Mackenzie is a pro at this and got her feet and legs all taped up the way they need to be.

 Kenzie and Rylee at the starting line.

 This our Before Picture.  See we look all refreshed and glowing and ready to go.....

 This is our finish picture and I am not sure if my camera is right this time.  That means that I would have
done the walk in 24 minutes.....Nah that can't be right....I did do the walk in 52:39 minutes....That is way better than I did last year...  Kenzie said that this was a 15:39 min/mile (whatever that means)
I was just excited to know that I had started and completed the walk.....She even made me jog a little bit and I do apologize to those along the way that might have had to witness that.....

 Zac ran the 1/2 marathon and came in first in his age bracket.  I believe that he finished 10th overall. 
Way to go Zac.  I think that he is preparing for he big race in October in St George.  That will be
a Full Marathon.....

 I also ran into an old high school friend, DeAnn Wallwork.  I had a great time catching up with her.
It was good to see her and she might have even inspired me a little bit.....

 Then we got ready and packed the Blazer to go to the Fair Parade.  It was a great parade!!

Love to see the Anderson Nova.  Thanks for entering Jim and Gloria and Colton and Bryson.....

New Musical Talent

                      Check out the new musical talent that we have discovered in our family!!!

              We have discovered that she likes to sing along with the Clairinet while Rylee is practicing....

                                           When we stop to laugh she looks at us like "What???"

NO RAIN 38 DAYS / DOWN POUR FOR BASEBALL

This was the beginning of our Weekend in Park City for a baseball tournament.....
Rylee sleeping and me crocheting (surprised?) 

 Really Utah?  38 days with no rain and we spend money and time to go to baseball and stay in a hotel and it pours....I  know that we need the moisture but come on....

 This was the view out our window.  It did not look very good for our 5:30 pm and 7:30 pm game

 We actually did get to play.  Our games ended up being in Heber City and by the time 5:30 rolled around it had stopped raining.....We won one and lost one.....We did have to finish up a little bit in the rain but it was not too bad after all.

 The next day we played in Coalville and it was hotter than hot....not a drop of rain in sight....we were early but did not see the sense in going home just to turn around and come back so we say and watched (and crocheted) while the other teams played.  It got so hot that my iphone quit working.....Heat exhaustion I guess.

 Rylee hurt his elbow in the previous game so he sat out alot of the game.  He batted but did not go out in the field at all.  Sure hope it heals soon......

 We ended up winning one and loosing one of these games as well.....The boys played good and it was a fun weekend.....On to the next tournament, "The Livistride Tournament" being held in Morgan.....

4th of July Riverside Park Style

 We had a Great Day at the Riverside Park, 4th of July celebration.

 It started off with the Parade!!!

 Then eating some scones under the bowery while the little ones played in the
Children's Carnival.

 Of course there had to be face painting...

 Baby Thatcher enjoyed his ride

 A family photo at the Parade...(Notice Grandpa Jim in the sidelines)

 and More face painting...

 Then in the afternoon, the Firetruck was brought in for a great time of water and kids.

 the kids got soaked and we enjoyed sitting nearby in the mist....

We ended the day by catching a couple games of baseball.  It was a great Day!!! even without the fireworks.  Better to be safe than sorry.....
