I decided I needed to have a goal for all the running I do, so I entered my first 5K. And let me say it it much harder running in the heat of the day rather than the early morning. I was 5th in the 30 - 39 category, and I was happy with that, all I wanted to do was finish the race.
There was a 1/2 mile kids race, so Shelby and Tucker decided to run as well. Shelby took 2nd place for her age group and Tucker was 1st in his. Tucker was very disappointed to see all the kids ahead of him, but her kept going, not realizing he would still win for his age. It was so cool to see him run around the corner right up there with the Big Kids. I was really impressed with their efforts, and very proud of them.
For family home evening one night, we took the kids to play miniature golf. They had a blast, and both kids got a hole in one. Needless to say, they beat my score ... I am definitely NOT a Tiger Woods! But, we still had a lot of fun on our family night out!
We'll be spending the next 1-2 years in Madrid, Spain. We still don't know when we're going, but it's set in stone now, as we told the kids last night.

Scot and I took the kids to a lake that is near us for a fun family home evening. The water was a little cold at first (you got the shock factor when you first jumped in!) but wasn't too bad once you got used to it! The kids had a lot of fun and Mackenzie loved snorkeling with Scot!
The kids went to a splash park this week with some of their cousins. They had a great time playing in the water, since it was 90+ degrees outside! We waited all winter for weather like this, but I think we forgot how hot summers can be!
