St. George Iron Man

Runners as far as you could see going up and down Diagonal street to complete their 26.2 mile marathon. This is what they did after the 2.4 mile swim and 112 mile bike.

I found Phil Goold (my sister's brother in law) and got to cheer him on. He completed the race in 13hrs 8 minutes which is an amazing time.

Leslie and I volunteered with our ward to hand out bananas and power bars. As you can see, you have to be in top shape to be able to hand these off....took a bit of training.

Another famliar face....Nick, Leslie's boss. He also did amazing completing the course just over 14 hrs. We got to see him about 4 times. It was a great experience.

Easter at Snow Canyon

Deann decided she wanted some exercise so we went hiking up a hill. She did pretty well with some help from my excellent skills of blazing trails.

Even Granny came

Why do kids love being burried?

Maybe because their big sister is doing it too.

Zion

LaRue and Leslie on Emerald Pools Trail

One of my favorite views for a photo from the trail

Cheezers at Emerald Pools lower pool. The wind was blowing the spray of the waterfall all over the trail and it got quite wet.

This little girl looks so happy, but only because she refused to walk!

I had to carry her most of the way both ways.....She is more like Leslie than we care to admit.

K, There was a deer behind us, but guess it got cut out of the shot, oh well.

Spring in Fair Oaks

Spring has sprung in February. I love living in warm climates.
