RuNnInG oN EmPtY?

This weekend was commenced by....



running!
(What else?)
This time at Fernley...
Where Chels placed 9th. out of 31.
(Woohoo--go, Chels!)



The boys had a few more running-
somewhere around 90.
N8 had an open, oozie blister and a side ache.
But this cracks me up.
First, find him in the starting line.

Now, watch his facial expressions in the next few photos.

'Yep, there he is!

'Still watching???

 

Happy boy, huh?



What is he thinking about?

Nope--he's not smiling for the camera.
(Doesn't even know I'm there.)

'Guess the boy just loves to run.

And despite the lovely blister and sideache,
he came in 27th.

Did you notice the new XC uniforms?



After Saturday afternoon Conference, we vamoosed to Zephyr.
While the boys went to Priesthood,
the girls went shopping.
Then we all watched "Sons of Provo" together--forgot how funny that movie is.




See that little clock radio?
That's how we listened to General Conference
on BYUI radio.
'Such a cool device.
(I can even get facebook on it.)



In Tahoe, eating pancakes, listening to the Gospel--
what could be better?
We are no longer "running on empty".
(We're full of great spiritual inspiration!)



Taking notes and...




and being goofy.




A  relaxed FDHHH




Mother and daughter
(Ooooh, 'loved Elaine Dalton's talk--

great advice for any dad!)




And now, it's time to bid a fond adieu...

 


while mother and son do the...
"Sarah, put down your handcart, wipe the dirt off of your face....."
(If you've seen "Sons of Provo", you'll understand.)
Have a super week!
