Cove Fort

 Kroeber's had planned to stop at Cove Fort on the way home ... so we all did.  Well - Heidi and Sydney didn't - they headed back to Las Vegas.  Here Joel and Anna are on the wagon - hard seats!

 Olivia wanted a turn ... they split us up into groups so we weren't all together - twenty missionary couples serve there! Our guide had only been there two weeks and was just learning about things.  Katie was kindly helping her - having worked at the Heritage Farm in Logan - Kate also was a wiz at the Hoop Rolling!!  Joel worked and worked and at least could do it - but Kate was awesome!

 Trying to gather everyone for a family photo - at the suggestion of the missionary guide.

 First attempt - - then someone asked:  where is Keenyn? and Eli?  they were up on the balcony - fighting the Indians!

Finally - everyone was getting tired - notice Briella - sure was a great time!  Polly took Jennie and Emilee to the airport - and we all arrived safely home - many blessings.

Picnic at the Park

 After showering and checking out of the hotel we got food and headed to a park for a family picnic.

 Someone suggested we have a picture of the girls and Mom and Dad - so we did!  looks like Kate is picking bugs out of Heather's hair!  j/k

  What a good looking group of people!

Would only be better if ALL the family could have been there!

All the runners!

Here are the family members who ran the race - Chris was first in an hour and a half - or so, Emilee was under 2 hours - 1:56 or so!   Heidi next I think, then Jennie and Heather, then Dad and I and Sydney has some injury problems and brought up the rear!  so much fun!  Next time lets go on an Alaskan Cruise for a family activity!  

 Heidi designed and brought these race shirts for everyone - so fun!  this is the back of the shirt ... we were all standing around, waiting for the race to begin and a lady came up to me and asked if we had horses!  no it's the 'crazy' part we have!!

Front of the shirt - several people commented on our shirts as we ran - as they ran past us - something like:  "I love your shirts!"  

This is how too old people look after running (shuffling) 13.1 miles!!  We began training last October and are very glad to have been able to complete this goal .. we may never ran a mile again!!  And yes - I had to talk long and hard to get Dad to purchase a pair of shorts - not very short either!!

More 'shuffling' at the race!

Polly, Heidi and Jennie

 Speaking of older pictures - here are the three oldest - Polly 4, Heidi 2, Jennie 6 months - so pretty and fun ... if they hadn't been so darling - we might not have had any more!!

What wonderful beautiful women they are - and all their four younger sisters....love to the moon and back!
