Thatchgiving 2010

We were able to travel to Gila Valley to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Lindsay.  We had a weekend filled with adventure and fun. 

First Grandma and Grandpa have the best sandbox ever!

They also have swings.  This is were Jeff spent most of his time. 

We were able to go throw rocks in the canal.  Kenyon made me super nervous, the boy has no fear.

Did I mention the swings?Uncle Steven brought entertainment for the older boys.  Logan and Noah were gone most of the day riding around.We participated in a little turkey trot.We also did a lot of swinging in Grandpa Lindsay’s tire swings.

Aunt Jill brought gunny sacks for races.

Grandpa Lindsay provided us with a hay ride.  We were able to sing Christmas songs as we rode along.

Grandma read us bed time stories.

Sleeping arrangements were fun with 13 adults and 11 or so kids under one roof

On Friday we went to Merry Mainstreet.

We also stopped by  Grandpa Udall’s zip line on the way out of town.

What a fun weekend!

Gilbert Days

My partners in crime and I have decided to run a few races this season.  So we started out easy with a 5k at Gilbert days. 

The kids and I ran the 1 mile fun run last year.  They wanted to run again this year so we enlisted dad’s help.  Here they are crossing the finish line.

 Michelle is faster than me and Gretchen.  Here she is crossing the finish line.  I think that she ran 10 minute miles.  Way to go Michelle.
