Who's Idea Was This Anyway?

Whiskeytown Relay Race

It has been a few years, but we decided to try the Whiskeytown relay race again. Almost 20 miles around the lake and we ran it. It was a huge accomplishment and it was tough but we can say it was fun, now that it is over! Lisa ran the first leg 4.5 miles mostly uphill, Angie ran the second leg 5.5 miles, I ran the 3rd leg 4.5 miles and the super athlete Lori ran the last leg 6.3. We didn't excatly win the race but we weren't last either. The name of our team was "Who's Idea Was This Anyway?".

Running Club Race

Before the race!
Did I tell you my kids Brett and Courtney are doing Running Club? Practice 3 days a week (2 on race week), and a race once a week! AND it was Bretts idea! He is having fun with it and it gives him a chance to meet more kids at his new school. Courtney is enjoying it too. Their first race was last Thursday at Anderson River park, and it was really hot. Courtney ran a 1/4 mile (one lap of the course), and Brett had to run 1/2 mile. I was so proud of them, as there was no way I wanted to be running at 4 o'clock in the afternoon hot sun. They were troopers!
I will keep you posted as they have another race this Friday at Grant. Can you see Courtney?
Courtney excited to get a participant ribbon!
Can you see Brett?

Courtney's Soccer Game

Courtney survived another 105 degree soccer game yesterday. Sherry made all the girls on the team matching hair bows - they did look very cute.

Labor Day Trip to Dunsmuir Park

After Church on Sunday we went to Dunsmuir City Park along with Grandma Charlotte. We enjoyed the picnic lunch on the upper Sacramento River and luckly we had sweatshirts in the van because it was cold that day in Dunsmuir (low 70's with a breeze, it might have been in the high 60's). We had a fun walk along the river and then we did some relay races in the grass area. After the park Grandma treated us to softserve ice creams, although it was cool we still managed to eat the ice creams. It was a lot of fun.
