Jog - a - thon WINNERS!!!

Jog-a-thon update:

Both Westin and Ashlin ran to a 1st place first in their jog-a-thon competition. We are very proud of both of them! They trained consistently running at the SBCC track and worked really hard to meet their goal of running the entire 30 minutes without walking. Westin ran 43 laps, the only person to beat him was an 8th grade boy with 46 laps (Westin is in 1st grade).  Westin even took a running clinic to help improve his technique- he really enjoyed it.  More trophies to add to the case!!

Train Ride

Our trip included a train ride from Williams, Az to the Grand Canyon. It was a great way to see the countryside. Lots of forest and animals. On the way back it was held up by cowboys - all part of the entertainment.

Grand Canyon Road Trip

What an amazing trip to the Grand Canyon!! The view is just unbelievable, so beautiful. The weather was amazing at 75 degrees. We drove, the kids were so great for the long car ride (8 hours there, 10 hours back) - it went by very fast.  We took a helicopter tour, WOW - that is crazy fun and the best way to see it all.  As you are flying over the forest all of a sudden the floor drops out and you are looking 4,000 ft down - my stomach dropped and you just gasp. The helicopter has a glass bottom, so you are staring all the way down - it is a very unique experience.  It was a super adventure.
