Midnight 5K in St.George

Annie decided she was ready to run a race so Kim signed them up for the Midnight 5K in St. George. It was held the Friday night before Memorial Day and was really a fun race. They got shirts that had glow in the dark writing, glow sticks they could carry or wear around their necks, flashing pins, glow in the dark glasses and other fun things. Alyse and I decided we could walk/run a 5K so we wanted to do it too but by then it was too late to sign us up so we ended up being spectators again. Below are our two runners before the race. They had glow in the dark balloons that lead the way to the finish line.

The spectators.

It's hard to get pictures of the runners in the dark because you can't tell who they are. But I got this one of the back of Kim as he ran by when the race started. He is on the left.
After the race it was a party, lots of good food and loud music. They kept playing Party In The USA along with other music and because it hadn't been a real long race some people actually had enough energy to dance. Annie finished in 30 minutes and Kim in 39! Way to go guys!


Sat. we spent the afternoon at Zions and did some hiking and had a picnic. It was beautiful and fun. We had dinner at Texas Road House and went to a movie in the evening.










Alyse has a new passion. It is putting jigsaw puzzles together. She finished the one below before we left so she had to bring a few to work on while we were in St. George. It made for a good Sunday afternoon activity.


Annie did this one.

Kim did this one.

Alyse did these. She loves anything Disney.
While in St. George the girls also enjoyed some bike riding and driving around in the golf cart that was at the condo we stayed in. The thing that made us laugh the most was all the golf carts that were in the church parking lot on Sunday. People had driven over in them instead of in their cars or instead of walking. We thought it was pretty funny. The picture below is just random. But it is also just wrong! This is what the day looked like here on May 24th. It should be against the law to snow in May. This was the latest snow fall on record.

I love puzzles too, although I haven't had a lot of time to put them together lately.

Annie you look great!... well, you all look great, but I haven't seen Annie in so long, and I'm just catching up on your blog! You've grown, like, 8 feet! :) Alyse and I have "puzzle-love" in common. We (my family & I) worked on a this horse jigsaw... it took FOREVER. It's addicting! And... I miss your family. You ALL need to come down for a visit, and soon! Texas misses y'all dearly.
