13.1 Miles. We did it!

We went to Salt Lake to do our 1/2 Marathon. I love running in Utah because for the entire 13.1 miles people are crowding the road and cheering you on. It felt great!
Also pretty cool is when we were almost to the finish line the professional athletes(those africans that are way too skinny) were finishing 26.2 miles. Kinda depressing....knowing they did 26.2 miles in the same time you did 13.1...

We also got to see Sean play 3 games! As you can see in the picture I wore my medal ALL DAY!! I was very proud of myself.

We are now on to our new adventure triathalons!

You know it's vacation when....

1. Dave jumps into the pool hits his head and blood goes everywhere!! 13 Stitches later....

2. We play Gestures and my mom somehow is on the ground acting like a snake...she had to use her entire body to act like a cobra....I almost peed my pants..

3. Someone gets pushed in the pool...I pushed Troy then I immediately jumped in...i knew what would be coming, Mom pushed Justin, Lindsey pushed Dave....all grandkids pushed Grandpa

4. staying up way too late to play meaningless games...

5. Stuffing ourselves at the Bellagio Buffet..

We went to Las Vegas last weekend to see Sean play baseball. He hit 2 homeruns! My parents bought a vacation home last year so everyone came to party.

Amazing Grace

This is one of the best movies I have seen. Great inspirational movie. My mother-in-law gave this to us and we loved it. Below is an overview of the movie.

Description:
From the makers of Ray, AMAZING GRACE tells the inspiring story of William Wilberforce and his passion and perseverance to pass a law ending the slave trade in the late 18th century. Several friends, including Wilberforce's minister, a reformed slave ship captain who penned the beloved hymn Amazing Grace, urge him to see the cause through.

Beach House!!

We went to San Diego last weekend and rented a beach house. The family went so we could see Sean play baseball against San Diego. We had the best time ever. The house was literally 50 steps from the beach and we were right next to Belmont Park along the boardwalk. I recommend this to anyone!

We also went to Sea World. I haven't been to Sea World since I was 6 or 7 so I was really excited. The dolphin show was the best. I can't believe people can train those animals. We then had had lunch with Shamu, not litterally but they have a buffet right nest to the killer whales. It is a special mini show. There were 4 killer whales doing tricks right in front of us. It was very cool.
We also went to the Wild Animal Park. It was great to see animals in their environment and not in a cage.

And then of course the best part of the trip was seeing Sean hit a homerun and a triple and kick butt. He had the biggest fan club at the games. During the game they would have the video camera's scan the crowd for people "dancing". Well I was the lucky one that got on the huge screen. Sean was laughing in the outfield. Let's just say he was a little embarrassed!
