"Evan's Birthday and "The Speedy Spaniard"

Evan's Birthday

Being born on July 24th has a few perks - as a Utah State holiday, it usually involves a day off work.  This year July 24th was on a Sunday so Monday was a holiday.  We gathered as a family on Sunday evening for some birthday pie and a chance to be together.  We all gathered and the cousins played while the adults had a game of  Trivial Pursuit (Evan's favorite) and of course the men beat the women!

Happy Birthday Evan!!

The Speedy Spaniard

July 24,2016
Every year the City of Spanish Fork celebrates Fiesta Days and one of the events is the Speedy Spaniard Race.   Allison, Jon, Tricia & James ran the 10 K (6.12 miles) and Lillian, Sam, Ella, Evie, Preston and Ruby ran the 1 K.  Hal and I picked up the kids and brought them to the 1 K race so that the adults could run the 10 K  which started earlier.  We arrived in time to see Allison and Tricia cross the finish line!  James and Jon had already finished earlier.

 Runners in the 1 K - getting ready - set - GO!
 Tricia and Allison cross the finish line!
Lillian  finishing strong!
 Sam winding down after his run!
 Preston almost across the finish line!
 Ella finishes and wins 3rd place for her age group!
 Evie crosses the finish line!
 Ruby finishes with a little help from Dad!
 All the 1 K family finishers
 Woidka runners (Sam is being silly!)  Alex was away at Scout Camp
 All the Thomas runners - Dorothy and Violet were away at a dance and cheer camp.
Woidka girl power!
