Jog-a-thon

Terra's school had a fun run fundraiser today. It was postponed because of heat advisories but today was a great day for it! She was smiles the whole time and of course a big goof. Paul was able to get off work to come and cheer on the side lines. It was really cute to see all the kids running their little feet off. Some took tumbles, some lost their shoes, some held hands, but all of the students had a great time. Terra ran 28 laps and by the end she was pooped. Thank you if you donated, Terra will be sending out cards this weekend.

Dogwood

We went camping last weekend and had a great time! We drove just about two hours North into the San Bernardino National Forest and stayed at a family ground called Dogwood. It was Paul's and my first trip since high school. We were trying to prepare as much as possible, knowing full and well that we'd forget something. I think we did pretty well for our first time out in so long. There wasn't really anything that we forgot, just supplies we wish we had. There is an Outdoor Recreation facility on base where one can rent supplies, that's where we'll go until we can build up our own arsenal of camping gear.

We were very fortunate to have a more private camp site compared to all the rest on the grounds. I think if we go back to Dogwood we will request that same site. The San Bernardino National Forest is up in the mountains and Dogwood is located just off a highway known as "The Rim of the World." From up there the scenery is breathtaking. Unfortunately our digi camera was broken at the time so I didn't get a picture of it. I did get some film pictures of it though and if they turned out I'll get them scanned and turned into digi files so I can share them.

With Fall approaching I'm not sure how much longer the family camp grounds will be open. I'm afraid if we want to go camping in the winter we may have to go to more of a resort style facility. We'll see.
