Roasting starbursts over the fire- YUM!!
Phoebe and Copper worn out! They played hard!!
Hanging out around the fire! Brailie, Jake, Jayson, Rick, Kellie, and Kim
Copper thinks he is a human and should be able to sit in a camp chair too! This was his chair all weekend right next to the fire and perfect for napping!!!
Memorial weekend was spent in Elk City with LJ's family. His parents own some land up there, that is slowly being converted into civilization. It rained a little, but we still had tons of fun!!

Elk City

This is the 5th wheel, shack, and compound in Elk City.
LJ fishing!

Shooting guns and eating ice cream

We went four-wheeling and found these people walking to find help, so we went back into the mountains with them to free their high-centered four wheeler. My strong Kodiak with its handy wench did the trick just fine.

Great Potato

I DID IT!! This last weekend (May 17th) I ran in the Great Potato Race. I ran the 10K (6.2miles) along with my friend Kacey and her sister Sarah. I have never run a competitive race before and I was really nervous, but it was great. I ran it in an hour and 6 minutes which translate to 10:40 miles!!! I was so excited! Next up is the Sawtooth Relay in June- we shall see if I can conquer that. :)

Moving the hot tub

LJ's Uncle wanted to get rid of their hot tub, so LJ decided that we needed it. So Saturday, LJ, his dad, and brothers moved it to our backyard. It was quite the project! 2 hours later, with our gates removed, dogs locked in the garage, a trip to Tate's Rents, and sore muscles, the hot tub met the patio. We'll see how it works out!

Team Day

We had team day at school last week. We took our students, went to the park, had a barbecue and played Fear Factor. One event was to eat a banana and drink a 7-up as fast as you can. I had to do it first in front of all of my students. It took me only 53 seconds- better than all of my students except 2!! How many History teachers can do that?
