General conference weekend

Our conference weekend started in Thermopolis at the cross country meet.  Lucy and Eric both ran and did well.  It was a beautiful morning at the Thermop Golf Course.  There was a last minute addition to the race-an antelope ran through the kids to escape all the people.

Lucy ended up passing the girl in front of her.

Eric came in 17th place and Lucy came in 49th.  There were four schools running in this meet: Worland, Lander, Riverton, and Thermopolis.

We came home and watched General Conference, it was wonderful!

Andy, Lucy, Peter, and our fab neighbors Macy and Fiona, Emma and Eric are watching too, but out of the picture

Swim/run

Peter ended his 2 week swimming course that is part of the elementary school curriculum this last week.  He doesn't much like it when I take his picture, so I was sneaky.

I caught the elusive Peter!

The cross country meet this week was a home one at the golf course.  Eric had a PR in his mile split-6:23. He keeps improving each week.  Lucy did better as well.

Raining...

Big storms hit...even some snow on the mountain in Cody!

Three football games down, won the first against Powell, lost the next two against Buffalo Green River.  Andy made one of the touchdowns against Green River.

Lucy and Eric and doing well in cross country.  They've been running in the rain, which is the best weather to run in!

Cross country and Billings

Cross country season has started at the middle school.  Both Lucy and Eric are running this year.  Their first meet was in Lovell and Eric has really improved since last year.  It helped that he ran nearly every week this summer. Lucy isn't quite sure how she feels about running, but is happy to do it with her brother.

We nearly had all our family here this last weekend. Emma went through the temple for the first time and Palmer drove up from Logan and Audrey and her boyfriend, John, flew here from L.A. We had a wonderful time at the temple!  I forgot to take pics at the temple, but here we are at Famous Dave's barbecue afterwards.

We had no air conditioning in the car and it got a little uncomfortable, but well worth it!
