Happy Father's Day to Me?

A few months back my sister Nicole and I surprised our husbands with a paragliding trip for fathers day. Kipp has a small fear of heights ever since he was dropped into the ocean when parasailing. I thought I would help him get over his fear by doing this. Well we recently decided to schedule our "flights" and Kipp came to me with a very serious expression and told me that he could not bring himself to go. I guess his fear is a little bigger than I thought! So my little brother Ryan benefited from Kipp's fear and came with us instead. We had such a great time!At least Shaun enjoyed his gift! Can you tell by the grin on his face?


Red Rock Relay

I had a lapse in judgement earlier this year when I signed up for the Red Rock Relay. 12 people, 186 miles. It was actually a ton of fun, and since I got the easiest leg, I think I enjoyed it more than anyone on my team. It was a great adventure that I think will need to be repeated! The route was gorgeous! We were team "Incredibles"-and our team really was! We had some awesome runners that had some darn tough runs in the heat of the day-I was so proud of our team! After each of our three legs of the race, we were supposed to make a mark on the back of our leg to indicated that we had completed it. This after the whole race with all three of our marks!Laura's expression explains what a lot of us were feeling like after our runs!
