Spring Break, Part 2

We joined a bunch of friends at Snow Canyon HS Track for a "run your age" kid's race. The kids had to run a lap for every year old. So Taylor 1 lap, Abby 3, and Kason 8. (This doesn't sound like my idea of fun, but apparently it is to Tige and his friends!) We raced with Beckstrands, Fords, Egberts, Coats, and Christensens. Cathy secured old medals from a past city race, so each of the kids got a cool medal when they finished. Taylor was the first kid to finish and Abby was the 2nd. (they were the 2 youngest). They did great, and when Abby finished her 3 laps, she did another, so ended up running a mile. After the race, we went to a park and had a picnic lunch, and then went for a hike. It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. Starting positions

We went to hike Johnson's Trail at Snow Canyon. It was Friday March 16. We all get about 1/2 mile into the hike and discover the trail has a barrier acrossed it and is marked at closed. Apparently it closes March 15 through October to protect the habitat. Dang, only 1 day late! Just as well though, because Taylor is getting heavy to carry in the pack. Tige took the 2 big kids swimming instead and I took Taylor home for a nap. Then we had an adults dinner @ Outback. It was such a great day.
