Millie’s Fieldtrip
3rd Grade Fun Day at the Dinosaur Museum: I had fun being with Millie and getting to know her friends!
End of October 2022
SPARTAN RACE
I signed up for my first race ever – since high school! Mallory convinced us all to do a girls weekend and run a Spartan Race with her! We flew into LA on Thursday night. We had a fun relaxing Friday with Shopping and food…
And Saturday was Race Day! Mal, Shannon, Kelsey and I signed up for the 13 mile 30 obstacle BEAST so we left early and were out there for HOURS. Christy and Shae, Megan, Tracie and Jleigh did the 3 mile sprint.
PREGAME:
Most of the pics are not of me but I did do the obstacles- Mal and Shannon did really well. Kelsey and I did pretty good but some of the obstacles we couldn’t do because of height and weight and strength and all the other excuses – I was just proud to finish!
I think it took us about 6 hours! We started a little after 9am and got done around 3:00. The Sprinters had time to get cleaned up and come back to us! Kelsey almost dies of hunger at one point – she was hangry and tired and luckily a fellow racer gave us food and we survived! The down hill was crazy. The mud at the end was just for show. My toe nails are still (5 months later) discolored and ugly.
Saturday Race day we ate at the one local diner. Then on Sunday we did church on TV and played until it was time to head home. We flew into SLC at 8pm.
Lunch at Cascade Springs
Kristin drove Abbie and Cohen and I up the canyon to soak in some beauty and fun. We ate lunch up there and then headed home to get the school kids. And they tried to make sure I was ready for my girls trip/Spartan. (Body Glide and the special pink Drink hydration.) I love hanging with these two!
October 18 and 19
Tuesday and Wednesday soccer! – With 6 kids playing, Tiago on 2 teams and Ben and I coaching 4 of the teams – SOCCER SEASON is busy busy:
Cali had a game too but it was in Layton and we couldn’t be in 3 places!
Benji’s Delivery
Benji is trying to get his delivery bus. going! He has a few loyal customers and is working on getting more. He is also helping at Salesrabbit as an INTERNship for one of his school classes! Ben is still thriving at Salesrabbit – he loves it.
Watching these kids swim at the AF Rec since we have a pass this year!
BYU Game Day
BYU v. ARKANSAS – some of the CA brothers were wanting to come out for this game. I talked to my neighbor Scott and he gave me tickets for all of us and with food vouchers! So we had a free game and had to spend around $40 each! BYU got demolished but it was Super Fun: Ryan, John, Michael, Kelsey, Joel, Megan, Sean and Jana! so 10 of us!
FUN Uncles and a gift from Grandma R.
Motor Home Part 2
On Friday October 14th we had breakfast in the motorhome and got showered and then drove the yellowstone loop and stopped whenever Than found something cool to look at! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERICA!
These Bison were right by the road!
And then to some prismatic springs, geysers and craters. I remember seeing this as a kid so it was neat to be back with my kids.
Waterfalls and other INTERESTING stuff in Yellowstone:
At this point it is 6pm: We have been living off of microwavable motorhome food since Wednesday night and it is Friday night and going out to Dinner for Erica’s bday was the perfect plan so we head out of Yellowstone and into town…. …. …. except we don’t! There are Bison in the road. Traffic is stopped. And we are stand still traffic for the next 3-4 hours! We offered the motorhome bathroom to strangers and made the most of it. By the time we get to West Yellowstone all of the restaurants were closed! So we ate more motorhome food and made smores and PARTIED! We drove thru Rexberg and down past Rigby to a church parking lot and slept for a few hours!
Then on Saturday morning Than cooked it home so some of us could make it to the BYU football game!! I had so much fun scrunched in the motorhome with these guys. We barely slept but it was so fun to be together and stop wherever and eat and pee on the go! I’m excited for the next one. (and it is 10:22 as i publish this post!)
