Hooper Tomato Days (We missed the plane crash)

I'm only about a month and a half behind in my posts about family life.

For Labor Day we have the privilege of attending Hooper Tomato Days. Usually Mike and I run the 5K to start off the day. This year, since I'm not supposed to run until January, I let my friend Janae win it. Not really. Janae would have kicked my butt even if I were well. She even set a new course record of 19:17. I challenged her to a duel to the death next year. I'm planning on training all year just for that race. :)
Mike ran it and did well, coming in at 20:45 minutes and taking second in his age group.

They had a Kids race after the 5K and Koy, Kandelyn and Kenzie raced in it. So much fun!

Every year the Chambers play in the volleyball tournament and I swear I will not play because I am so bad at it. But they are nice and let me play with them. And they don't yell at me or make me feel bad when I hit just about every ball out of bounds, or miss it entirely. It was a lot of fun to play this year.

Here is my scrapblog about it:

  1. Don't be sad you missed the plane crash... it was scary as (insert emotion or cuss word here). Always imbedded in my mind.

  2. That sounds like it was a great day! I miss Tomato Days. That was my first 5k ever ... I couldn't keep up with Abe. Maybe someday, I'll be able to go again and bring Val and the boys.

Here in the happy happy land of excited and confused adult conversation is a rarity. This blog is one link to sanity and other people who don't wish to play dolls. Please, leave a comment. It makes me feel like I can still communicate without adding a "y" to every word. Please.
