Marathon day

By Amity -
The kids had their annual "marathon" at their school, similar to a jog a thon.  They kids raised pledges based upon their "laps" and the monies are being put toward a new gym floor for the school.  Currently the floor is carpet and is very old and smelly!  I helped organize and manage the marathon this year so I didn't get any pictures but Mac's teacher managed to get one!  The kids did amazing, many more laps than I though they would do.  The loop was a 1/2 mile long, Mac did 13 laps and Emily did 9.......awesome!!!!!  Thanks to everyone who sponsored the kids!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
