Quick Camping and STUFF

We had the privilege to attend an auction fund raiser for an awesome crisis pregnancy center a few Saturdays ago.  Since the event was over an hour away and started at 7, my mom had the idea to camp at Catalina State Park (which was only minutes away) for just that one night.  I'm so glad we did!  It was so fun! One of the items my mom bid on and won was a basket of small toys for Zion.  To say he was excited, when he walked out carrying a basket as big as him, would be an understatement.  He kept saying, "I got STUFF!" :) He wouldn't let the coordinators of the event (who are old friends of my parents) leave until they had acknowledged his stuff.  Lol.  He probably said, "look, I've got STUFF!" about 30 times!  It was so cute.  Once back at camp we probably looked like the weirdest campers EVER unwrapping these baskets like presents and being so excited over all the little items.  But it was so fun!  :) For all of us.  Zion's excitement is contagious! :) So,  enjoy these pictures from Catalina State Park! :)

Blessed Beyond Measure!

Guano 5k

Last Saturday Brandon and I ran a 5k! It was so fun! Except for the hills... They weren't fun. Lol.  We could see the finish line and got excited, until we realized we first had to scale this huge hill! Wowza it was steep.  But we did it!  In around 40 minutes.  Which, because it was a rocky terrain trail run and we had to walk through a couple running streams. .. and the hills...it's not too bad a time!  It was out at Kartchner caverns about an hour away. It's gorgeous out there! So fun! My cousin Bekki also joined us, so that was extra fun!  :) After our run they had a kids fun run that we did with Zion. He did amazing! ! He ran almost the whole mile!!! We had to keep slowing him down so he wouldn't overheat.  We are so proud of him! And he was so proud of himself.  It was awesome!  He also won a pizza,  a wristband, and a flashlight. .. which he loves! What a fun day!  We've also definitely got another competitive little person in the family! Look out world! :)
