Snow Canyon Half

Before Amanda decided to try to have her babies, we signed up for the Snow Canyon Half Marathon.  We felt kind of  funny about leaving town while she was in the hospital.  But we knew if she had the babies, we wouldn't be able to hold them, and Amanda told us if anything happened she would give us a call, and we would only be 5 hours away....so we headed to St. George.  Caitlyn went down with us.

 It was freezing at the start line!

 At about mile 3, I "ran" into an old friend of mine, Betsy, and I decided to run the rest of the race with her.  Good choice!  It was so fun to catch up with all that is going on with her and her family as we ran through the Snow Canyon State park.  What a great way to spend a Saturday morning!  Betsy, I think we should do it again sometime!

 Here is a picture of our husbands:  Bart and Dean

  Betsy and I were in PTA together about 17 years ago!


After the race, we decided to go hiking in Zion National Park.  Thought that would be a great way to keep our legs from tightening up on us.
This is my idea of hiking....make Caitlyn carry me!

The colors in the canyons were awesome!

  After hiking in Zion, we got to have dinner with Connie, Rob, and Leah.  Then we headed over to St. George to watch Shelby's last soccer game of the season for Dixie College.  Then to bed!  Long fun day!
