July Trip to Utah

We had a great vacation this summer. We drove out to Utah to see Pete's family. It had been several years since we had been out and it was so nice to spend time with the family in such beautiful mountain surroundings!
A great afternoon of Wii enertainment. Big sis, Traci, seemed to school Peter in tennis. Of course, the competition really continued after that.


Of course, we had to get hiking in while we were in the mountains. Nana and Papa's house has great hiking all around. So, Papa led Pierson, Sydney and Peter up the mountain. Nana and I were quite content to lay on the porch and sip some cold drinks.

What could be better? Sydney was in love at first sight with Lady. She and Nana doted on her the whole week.




It was so great to let the cousins get to know each other so well. The little cousins hit it off great and Peter and I loved meeting the new teenage Alice.



The Salt Lake City Bees game was a wonderful evening. What could be better? Baseball, mountains, family and cotton candy!

A Day at the Races!

Pierson and Sydney competed in their first big race! The Huntsville Autumn Chase was this week and the course was a mile long! Parents were allowed to run along side the younger racers. Go Pete for running with the kids. It is great to see the next generation of family runners!
Pierson finished his mile in 9 minutes and 51 seconds.

Sydney finished here mile in 11 minutes.
