North Pole express

The day after Thanksgiving Terry and Ronda surprised all the grandkids with a trip on the North Pole Express out of Heber City. We all had a fun time and it got us all in the Christmas mood.

Before leaving all the kids got new pajamas to wear on the excursion.

Here we are waiting to board.

It got a little chilly waiting.

We had a lot of fun singing carols and enjoying the scenery. Thanks Terry and Ronda for making it such a fun day.

Tristyn was a Greek Goddess. She sure looked beautiful.

June in review

Can't believe June is over already. Here's a few pic's from the month:


We had our 7th annual guest appreciation breakfast on the 18th. It was finally nice weather this year. We figure we fed nearly 600 people, and had a lot of fun doing it.

Davy Crockett stopped by for a visit

Tracey and I enjoyed our 20 yr. high school reunion

H2B 2011

Tyler and I went down to Blanding and ran in the first annual Huff to Bluff marathon. As far as marathons go it was a lot of fun. The scenery, weather, people were all great. Here's a few pictures from the trip down.

We had a Bigfoot sighting on the way back

Here was the only theatre in town with its one show and show time. I think there was one traffic light in town.

We were pleasantly surprised to find out the carnival was in town. Talk about excitement...

This was some of the beautiful scenery that was down there

Tyler and I started laughing the night before when we got our running clothes out and discovered that we had matching outfits for the run. What are the odds? Then during the run a lady asked us if we had planned our outfits to match. Really lady?

It was a fun trip and a nice course. I wouldn't mind doing that one again. Maybe we'll shoot for H2B 2012. The only thing I'd change is to make sure that Tyler and I do coordinate so that we DON'T have the same outfit.
