Summer Fun, Summer Run(s) and Summer's Done?

Summer Fun Part 1 - UTAH for the 4th

.




Summer Fun - Part 2 Hogle Zoo

Summer Fun Part 3 - Lake Powell
Summer Run Part 1 - Kaysville July 4th Run
Yes, that is actually me on the left.
It has been seriously about 25 years since I last ran an official 5k.
I ran it in 28:15
Not bad for a major amateur and hater of running.


Jared ran the 10k and got his PR/ goal of under 40 minutes.
But, sadly finished second in his age group....
Cause he ran this race a few years ago and also got 2nd so he was shooting for 1st.
Missed it by 7 seconds. Bummer?!? 



My mother-in-law did the 5k walk and took 1st OVERALL.
Must be where Jared gets his competitive edge.

Crystal (SIL) and my father-in-law also ran the 10k.
Cause that is the race that "real" runners do.

Summer Run Part 2 - Utah HALF Ironman

1.2 mile swim
56 mile bike ride
13.1 mile run

Who else would also consider this summer fun? Jared
We did have fun supporting him: his parents, two sisters, one niece, my parents and of course the boys!

Okay, actually two other dad's were faster! Jared had the 3rd fastest run time. And finished 16th OVERALL. Way to rock those shorts.

Summer Fun for REAL - 14th Anniversary

We spent Thursday/Friday kid-less in SLC at the Grand America.
IT is a NICE hotel.

Us on our balcony.
(Really, this is just our 14th - but by my serious crow's feet you'd think 25th - yikes - bad photo, right?)


Lunch, new running shoes, shopping at The Gateway, laying by the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, dinner and shopping in downtown SLC, reminiscing those kid-less days when we both worked downtown, dreaming/skimming on how to get one of those new City Creek condos overlooking Temple Square, LOTS of food and DESSERT, and sleeping-in....it was FUN!

Summer's Done?

Back to School. BOO-YAY!
BOO for a certain 3 year-old.
YAY for a certain mom.

Isaac's first day of 1st grade


Did I mention it was 109 degrees, today?!?
