So this is very old but finally got around to posting about it. Some friends from work and some of thier friends did the Red Rock Relay from Brian Head to Zions National Park in September. It was so fun there were only a few of us that had ran a race or even ran for that matter. (It was so fun we already signed up to do it again next year!)It does sound crazy to be in a car for 36 hours with no showering and sleeping for as little or as much as you can. Yes, I was the one that slept each time we stopped to sleep.
My first run the temperature was perfect. Well until it started hailing thankfully it only lasted about two miles. I had welts when I was done running. Then our second run was at night. These are my favorite runs they are so peaceful. The last run was the worst. It was in the middle of the day and the temperatures were high that day.
The whole team did great on each of thier runs. We thought we would average 13 minute miles. Well we beat that number by a long shot! We finished in 36.3 hours that is 3 hours before our projected time. It was so fun. Thanks to all my teammates for making this a great race!

Halloween Activities
We did a few halloween activities this year. Deron enjoyed them all. We went to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. There was a small corn maze that we went through. Deron was taking everything in and loving it.
We went to my sister's trunk-or-treat. Deron had fun playing all the games and getting the candy. All he wanted to do was play the games. We took the boys into the haunted house that was set up. Deron was giving high fives to the kids that were dressed up. He did not get scared until we had to crawl through a maze.
He would not let me hold him, but of course he let G-pa!
He really would not hold still to take a picture, or he was not a happy boy.
Deron ran away crying when I tried to take thier picture. Kieger was excited.
We went to Gardner village. Deron was scared of the witches that moved, if he got to close he would start to cry. So I just left him in the stroller and he enjoyed that.
This is the fun pumpkin patch we went to right by our house. Deron wanted to pick-up every pumpkin he saw. So it took us awhile to pick out the pumpkins, but we did.
He had tons of fun carving the pumpkins. He is the typical boy, and enjoyed getting the pumpkin guts all over.
He would not sit still long enough for me to take a picture. He was obsessed with the CANDY! Since he never gets candy it was a whole new experience for him.
Yes, in order for him to take a picture we had to have candy by the camera. He really was obsessed, but has not wanted any since that night.
