One last hurrah

Jerry has been working so hard and earned a trip with the President's Club.  We were all set to go to California and relax at the beach and have a great time together.  It was perfect since it was close to our anniversary and his birthday and we were really excited.  But then Covid-19 started happening and things started falling apart very quickly.  The night before we were supposed to leave we canceled the trip.  We were worried about travel getting shut down and we didn't want to be stuck in California.  So instead we went to a resort just outside of Park City.  It turned out to be amazing.  It wasn't crowded and it was just enough to be a getaway, but we were also close enough to home that we could still be in touch with our kids as everything started falling apart.  It was stressful.  But it was also such an amazing resort that we were able to relax and get ready to handle the madness that is Covid.

This was our room.  The view was amazing.  The earthiness of it was so grounding and I loved it.

This was the pool and hot tub that we sat in every day and night!

One morning we went on a run/hike and this was looking back at the resort.

It was very pretty and isolated.  It felt like we were away from reality.

I knew what was coming when we got back home and I was grateful to have a recharge before I actually had to deal with it.  While we were here schools got shut down, church got canceled, businesses closed...it was unimaginable and yet it was really happening.  At least we had this one last hurrah!

Track Meets!!!

I was so excited that Kate chose to run track this year.  I love running so much and there is something so fun about track and track meets with your team and all that.  I was so excited for her first meet and to get to be a part of all that!  She had started running in January and wasn't loving it at first, but I told her to just hang in until she got to race.  That makes everything so much more fun.  She decided to run the 1600 which was my favorite in high school.  Yay!

Her goal was to break 9:00 in the mile which was her fastest time when running it during PE.

She ran it in 7:40!  It was so awesome.  She ran so hard and finished so strong.  We were very proud of her!!

Sara tries to snowboard, and Abby rocks the skis

Sara has been wanting to try snowboarding for a couple of years now.  We had a Friday off of school so we rented her a board and I put her in a lesson.  She did great and she loved it!  While she was having her lesson, aka falling a lot, Abby and I had fun skiing together.  She's just so darn good on her skis!

Sara's mad tumbling skills

Even though Sara stopped doing dance and is looking forward very much to mountain biking, she has continued doing tumbling.  She loves it and she's very good at it.

Kate's band recital

So I made some changes to my photos and videos and it took a while to figure out how to easily get my videos onto my blog.  I finally figured it out and here is Kate's Christmas band recital.  I'm glad that I recorded it, because now that it's April and here we are in quarantine, it was her last recital.
