Fun Run 2014

August 9th
This year was our turn to make the T-shirts.  I finally came up with a Dad'ism that I really loved!

                      Git A Move On
And we wanted a bright shirt so we got these awesome neon green shirts.   It is such a neat tradition that Dave started after dad passed away to do this. Everyone loves it!  This year we invited Bob and Naomi to come and join us. ..We played a family game of signs, we had to teach Bob and Naomi how to play it was SO fun. They are such great neighbors!!  We love them so much.  They drove mom as the rest of us did the walk/run to the pond and back.
Jan had to finish her chemo therapy so she was not able to come this year.  But Dan, Sherie and Jenna came.  Dave and Ty and Becky were there and Mike and Kathy.  On the way to the pond the morning of the run Jes and the girls were bringing up the rear and someone pulled over, rolled down his window and yelled out '"Git a move on" to them and drove off.   We have laughed about that all year!  
 What a legacy our dad left us!
We went to the river to swim on afternoon with Dave.. There is a really high rock and a deep pool that he and Ty jumped off.  NOT ME!!!!!  They went gold dredging a couple of afternoons, I stayed with mom.

On the way to the Fun Run

August 8th was the date.  We had decided to drive Jes' truck and pull her camper so we had plenty of room with all the family at the cabin.  We left on Saturday and drove to Mormon Bend on the Salmon River going to Stanley.  We camped for the night there and the view was beautiful.  The kids had a great time riding their bikes around the campground.  We explored the river and just enjoyed our time together.
