Got to my hotel and had my choice of a faulty treadmill, halting ellipitcal and a recumbent bike that sorta worked. Chose the bike. Biked for a while then swam.

Then got to meet APRIL!

Had a nice dinner, followed by some play time at the park, and then ice cream!

Here's our cute kids

And our even cuter us!

Then April had to drive right into a storm (sorry April) to get home. And Chuck and I won Parents of the Year (to steal April's term) because Eli tried to open the emergency door at Walmart and set off the alarm.

Good times!

I almost called you last night to see if you did okay in the storm! Any hail damage to your vehicle? We went right into some hail but by then we were already getting pounded and damage was done so we drove right through it, then later on pulled over in an underpass when the radio started talking about rotation, but got moving again and made it home safe. We are totally hot in our picture lol! That's hilarious about Eli! You know you're a parent of little boys when the whole world becomes aware of your presence!

How FUN!!! You are both so cute, at least we know where the kids get it!

Have fun with CinC today! Are you dropping down into Arizona??

Bonnie! We are! How far are you from Mesa?

You two are super cute! Even though Tracy's 3 foot taller than April. But even Nan is at least a foot taller than April. So Bonnie, come and join Tracy and I on a run. Text me :)

Looks like your va-ca is off to a great start! Love the pic of the kids. I heard that the tram up to the top of the Arch got stuck the other day and there was a little bit of panic. I can understand that. Those little cars are tight and not for the clausterphobic (sp?). Gotta love those hotel exercise rooms. :)

I know it has been a while since I saw you but did you cut off your hair? Maybe you just had a pony tail before...Super cute!

Burt!! My work email was down until just now, I am sorry I missed your message -- I couldn't have run with you guys anyway though, I am still getting over my URI (it is a doozy). But, I could have come up to see you sweat!! When are you guys meeting up?

Wednesday at 5:30am at South Mountain. Be there :)

Also Thursday at 5am at my house.
