Some odd days of summer.

I didn't like last years short summer but, I did like my idea to blog about the days. Once again I will try to update my blog with fun summer events.  A couple of weeks ago, Mark said he wanted to record quality family time we spend together, so the girls would realize, we did like doing things as a family. So he made a spreadsheet (very engineer-like of him). I thought I would just use my much neglected blog to capture the same info, mine would just be a lot cuter. Anna isn't officially out of school until Friday, but lets begin anyway.

Experiment Day at Anna's class. We tried to show the experiment of how Rice Krispies can protect an egg dropped from a building. We changed it and just dropped it from high atop the desks (it feels a lot rebellious to stand on the desk, even when the teacher told me it was okay).

A little track time was the exercise of the morning. Emma wants to run a 1 mile race and then a 5k so Emma, Addie and I went to train at Riverton High School's track with the cute Morrison family. After that we went and signed the family up for Riverton's 1 mile fun run on July 4th.

While Mark was off running the Wahasatch Steeple Chase (17 miles through the mountains by Capitol Hill). The girls and I went again to the track. Funny story: Emma's running training consists of running one lap around the track then about a 5 minute break, then another and another, up to 4 times around. This was Anna's first day training and at the end of one lap she just kept running. Anna decided she would rather get it over with run 2 laps at a time, then take a break. Have I told you Anna is the toughest person I know.
Mark made it home just in time for me to leave to go see my old friend Chara at her baby shower. I miss her, I love old friends.

It was Stake Conference and I was too burnt out to go so we went on a little ride in the canyon. Until Emma decided to run into a tree. Poor little tree didn't survive, Mark tipped it over so it wouldn't fall on anyone.
