Well, he did it again. Jon ran the St. George Half Marathon (13.1 miles). We took advantage and made a family trip to St. George. We were able to go see Grandma and Grandpa at the condo, Jill and Bryan and cousin Danielle were there as well. 
We stayed in a hotel and the kids thought that was so fun!! We let the kids go swimming. I took the kids down to the pool because Jon had some Union phone calls to make. I assured him we'd be fine. About 1/2 way through Morgan and I decide to get out and watch from the side. I'm watching as Addison tip toes toward the deep end, and I shout out to her to turn around and go back to the shallow end. I watch as she tries to correct her self, getting more nervous, and then water splashes into her face, and then more, and then she panics and I realize she won't be able to pull herself out of this so I jump in the water with Morgan wrapped in a towel in my arms and pull Addison out of the water. This happens JUST as Jon is walking in the room to see his daughter going under water. A quick, panicky moment and surprisingly enough no body cried and Addison got right back in and kept swimming! Whew!
The ONE DAY it decides to be raining in St. George is the day of the race. Here we are sitting in the cold waiting for Dad to cross the finish line...
Here is Dad.. coming in at 1:49:19. Whew! I applaud you!! What an inspiration you are and I'm so proud of you for going after and achieving your goals. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU DAD!! KEEP IT UP!!!
( I love how perfectly Kristian's little face found his way into this picture)
It was a short trip. We went down Friday morning and came back Saturday afternoon. These were our road conditions on our trip home and as you could see the kids definitely traveled well. Especially our little Morgan, what a trooper!!
