Memorial Weekend 2008

This weekend was so much fun. We went to St.George area, did some hiking in Zions,West Rim. We added a couple miles to our already 13.5 mile hike because snow had made the road so muddy.It was an adventure for sure. Steep climbs up and down, beautiful views, interesting and not so interesting conversation,entertaing no doubt. The hike intersected with Angels Landing and home stretch was just a few switch backs away, or so I thought. I could think of a lot more names for the switch backs known as Walters Wiggles but since this is a family blog I will restrain myself. I have never been so sore after a hike but would totally do it again. Thanks to Dave for setting it up and keeping us entertained with all sorts of tales and "would you rathers". We also went into Snow Canyon for some climbing rocks, looking for lizards and playing in the sand... oh the memories. What a great family that can have good times together. Love you all... I guess we'll see after our bus tour:)

5k

I wouldn't say I qualify as a runner now by any means, but I did run my first race. Dad, Drew, Davey and me all ran the SLC 5k, while Annie and Matthew ran the half marathon. Davey was the fastest of us 5k'rs and Annie and Matthew did theirs in 1:58. They did great! While training I have to say I did not get that natural high or addiction to running like I keep hearing about... Even as my alarm went off at 5:10 that morning I thought for sure runners were out of theirs minds. But as soon as I walked outside and everything was still , I felt like the first one to see the morning, and that was kind of cool. I met everyone else at the house.. Drew and Davey had just rolled out of bed( they were up a little late the night before because, yes they had dates with girls). At the start line everyone was in such a good mood and full of energy. Drew and Davey of course left Dad and I in the dust, but I was just happy we both ran the entire race, it was fun running it with Dad. I'm not saying I'm hooked or anything but I may do another.

Sunday Afternoon

Sunday Afteroon: Mom and Dad were still in Spokane visiting jimmy and Carly but we thought we would eat dinner as usual. After it was such a nice day we ventured into the back yard. As always with the Dunn's we had to be doing something competitive like freeze tag or throwing a hoola hoop with just enough back spin to make it back to you with out falling over. And of course just plain hoola hooping. I'm sure the neighbors love when we venture into the backyard, very entertaining.

My good friend Kari that I have known since 2nd grade got married. L.E was a flower girl and I was a bridesmaid.

I had the week off and never thought I would enjoy just being at home so much. Even the house cleaning and wash was great. We went to the childrens museum
