Jake's 4th annual Half Marathon

Well today Jake ran his 4th Half Marathon. He'd like it to like his 10th...but so far he's just been doing the Morgan one every year. But this coming year he really wants to run a few more. But regardless he really likes running this one. It is a hard one, it's definitely not flat at all. So it's a challenge. He has been training a lot for it and really wanted to beat his previous years times. And he definitely did. He beat his fastest time that he has ran it by about 5 minutes! His time this time was 1:35:32. With a 7:13/mile pace. Pretty impressive. After the race I had about 5 people come up to me who had either ran or been working at aide stations come tell me, Man Jake was running so fast! He killed that race. He did really good this year. Pays to train I guess ;) haha

My dad just opened a campground here in Morgan this weekend and has been working and working to get it up and running and stuff. So after the race Jake went over and helped him prune trees and haul branches and stuff. Emery even helped haul branches. 

Then later tonight there was a parade. Macie actually got the hang of it this time and had a blast picking up candy and putting it in Emery's bag. She has gotten to be such a ham lately.

Macie playing peek-a-boo. Her favorite game. 

After the parade there was dinner and a concert in the park. So we ate, listened the music, and the kids ran around throwing their frisbee's that they got at the parade. Until it was getting dark and past bedtimes. Then we headed home and just got them laid down for the night. 

Whew. What a day. Emery said when we got in the car to come home "It was a fun day!" So I guess it was a success. 

I love this small town.
