Devil's Punch Bowl

We headed to the cool Oregon coast and enjoyed the marine life there in the Bowl and the tide pools. The kids found hermit crabs, petted starfish, and fed snails to the anemone. What great fun!

Nose bra!

Are we on to something here?

Shopping with kids

Lots of fun with the cutest kids ever!

Friends

We've been friends for ten years. We've had babies together, raised kids together, and ate at Izzy's together. It's great to have good friends.

My strongest event, the bike!

3 mile run, amazing!

Waiting for my friends........

Kim and I at the end.  It was an amazing day all in all.  I trained for all of this but still had doubts about whether I could actually do it.  I beat my swimming time by 1 and 1/2 minutes.  I am not a swimmer so I used a kick board for 3 laps and faked it for the other 7.  But I DID it!  The bike was my favorite because I love biking.  I booked it and loved every minute of it.  11 miles was a cinch.  The run was the hardest but only because my calves burned like crazy for the first 15 minutes and I had just swam and biked.  I did not run the whole time, but ran more than I walked.  I was totally amazed that I ran for that long.  Our bodies are amazing.    Can't wait to do another one!

Cub Day Camp

Great times for little boys! Somewhere they can say the pledge of allegiance everyday and include, "under God.". My boys will always be scouts!

Silver Creek Falls

Memorial Day weekend and nothing to do.... Except for a fun day at silver creek falls with the cousins. It was a good day!
