Football/Firemen's Workout!

This last Saturday, a group of my friends got together to work out with a crew of PG firemen, a U of U football player, a BYU football player, and the PGHS football coach. Whew!  What a workout!  We did it, though, and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

We raced to pull a huge weight across the field...

 We played Sharks & Minnows...

 There was a fun "reward" for those who were "caught"...   :0)

We carried a fire hose up...

...and down the bleachers...

 We tackled the "sled" as a team...

...and individually...

We ran a relay around the track in a fireman's coat (those things are HEAVYYY!)...

And when we were done, we felt victorious!!!

Canesa, thanks for organizing this!!!

We rock!

Jer's Masterpiece

I came home from a meeting today and found Jer painting this in my front hall:

Here are a couple of details:

Pretty awesome, huh?  He's so talented!  (But it's funny how the rules seem different with him.  Somehow, since he's the only kid I know who would even think to paint on a 24 inch by 24 inch spare board with house paints leftover from his room, I don't yell at him for doing it in my entry way.  I just have to breath deeply for a second and then say, "Thanks for painting over paper towels...")
