Another Afternoon on the Clearwater

September 12

The kids had such a good time on the river that we decided to do it again.  This time we went to another site with slower water but we brought out the life vests this time.

Again Rufus was in rare form.

We picked up Dash after kindergarten and headed upstream.

The boys were having so much fun.

And the little ones were out cold.

But it didn’t take long before everyone was up and ready for lunch.  Nothing like Cheetos and sandy fingers.

I tried to get the kids to set up for a photo moment to send back to the grandparents who were missing all of the fun.  This was the best we got.

So back to the water for more fun.

I still can’t believe that we were in Idaho in September and we were swimming.  It was in the upper 80s the whole time we were out there.  Very nice weather and great company.

My First 5K

The local Kiwanis sponsored a 5K Walk/Run to raise money for their efforts.  It is associated with Lumberjack Days, the county fair and town gathering.  Mandy and I participated.  This was my first 5K.

I saw a lot of folks I went to school with as well as my HS softball coach/math teacher, Mr. Savage.  I got to catch up with all of them.  It was a good time.

And we finished in 49 minutes and 20 seconds.  Yes, I just walked it. And this was faster than I normally would have done it.  My hips hurt for 2 days from having to take longer strides to keep up.

It was well worth it and I will do another one, hopefully soon.
