the marathon

Although I think they are slightly crazy, Ben and Joe decided to run a marathon.  So they woke up bright and early (they had to be there at 3 am), and finished around 10:00 taking them about 5 hours to do it.  I am so proud of him and all his hard work!  And then we put sod in the next day  ...

Chambers family - Bear Lake

The next day we headed north to Bear Lake!  The day started out beautiful - nice & sunny, then the afternoon brought rain.  But we partied hard while the sun was out!  Lily was adventurous - she would head out into the water whenever it suited her.  The other kids had a great time, they loved riding in the canoe, playing in the sand, and collecting sea shells.

Chambers family - zoo

Back at the end of July, Ben & Kaleb came up for a visit from Colorado.  We decided to take the kids to the Zoo, which they enjoyed!  The loved looking at the animals, playing in the water park, and riding the train.  Also, the bird show was AWESOME!  Turns out the person in charge went to high school with me - random!
