Yesterday was a fun day for all of us. Tim woke up early and went down to the Hoover Dam to run a full marathon with his friend Craig from Utah. Allison and the kids got ready to go and were able to meet Tim on the last part of the course and see him finish. He was doing well through the first 15 miles but then 4 miles of up hill into the wind took its toll. He had a goal to finish a little faster than he did but all in all, 26.2 miles complete. It was worth the time, effort and aches. Not so sure if he will be doing another one or not. Ask him in a few weeks.

Then it was time to get ready for some trick or treat fun. Kids all dressed up as Cowboys and of course, one Cowgirl. That was all their doing this year. We are not sure what sparked that but that is what they went with for costumes. The kids had a blast. They went out in the neighbor hood with about 30 kids at once. Yes, they all ran from one door to the next in a group of about 30. I think the people at the door were more scared than the kids. They emptied out the neighborhood of candy. You will see that most of it ended up at our house. Tim pulled Colton around the neighborhood in the wagon. The kids kept emptying their candy into the wagon and Colton was in heaven. At one point he had 4 lolly-pops in his hands and wasn't sure how to lick on all of them at once, paper or not.

Now we have enough candy to keep the kids awake through New Years. Enjoy the pictures and there will be more to follow in the coming weeks of the Holiday Season.
