Last Minute Trip to Big Bear

I had a 45 minutes to eat breakfast, pack, and leave.....we had a lot of fun. We went kayaking, hiking, 4 wheeling (in a rental mini-van, we didn't want to ruin our car) with a little mine exploring.

I screamed the loudest ever Monday night. We were roasting marshmellows behind the cabin, Sommer thought she saw shadows and I heard noises. They discovered the raccoon and I wouldn't leave the patio porch (we roasted marshmellows while it was light outside the second night.)

Utah

I went to Utah for my niece's baby blessing. I had a lot of fun using the Salt Lake City Pass with my family. Once they left I was able to go and visit friends and go hiking. Lori and I went near Brighton. It was beautiful and I love that it doesn't get dark until late in UT.

Revlon 5K

My fourth year participating in the Revlon Breast Cancer Run/Walk. It was the first time for my 7 year old niece (almost 8) and she did an awesome job. My sister and niece spent the night at my house.

Half Marathon

I did my first half marathon. I trained with my friend Eva and we started together for the first 3 miles. We planned on running hills during our training but it rained or things came up on those days....I regretted it since it was mostly a trail run up a canyon. Within the first miles I realized that I never want to do a marathon!! I would like to train more and do the half marathon next year.

Dolpins

My friends Eva and Jared recommended that we swim with the dolphins. It was so much fun. We had an awesome doplhin traner, it was just the four od us in our group and we got to do the foot push twice because we are faster swimmers than the other group across the facitlity!!

We brought my underwater camera, took our own pictures and used our masks/snorkels to watch the dolphins underwater!!
