Heritage Fund Run

Today the boys' school held their annual Fund Run to raise money for the school. Each student gets pledges and then has 30 minutes to run as many laps as they can. 10 laps equaled 1 mile.

I ran with Patrick who made it around 19 times!

Daniel wanted crazy hair

Daniel ran 23 laps!

Since Patrick had to hang out with me all day, he at least had fun squirting kids with a water gun. Especially Daniel.

Josh made it around 21 times.

"H" for Heritage

This was Josh's last Fund Run for Heritage. This year will be a lot of lasts. 😢

Iowa State/Iowa Football

The boys had no school on Friday, so we headed out of town (without Josh) to make it out for the Iowa State vs Iowa football game. 

We set up our tailgate bright and early and enjoyed a fun morning of food, friends, and football.

The game didn't end the way we wanted it to, but it was a great game. 

Go State!

Broncos 7k

We signed up to run the Broncos 7k again this year with Joe's sister, Kerry. It was a little tougher this year for Daniel (he did not like running the same speed as me). It was still a cool race for me and Kerry though. How many times do you get to run into the stadium through the same tunnel the players use? 

It was the 5th annual race so they had medals to celebrate. And they were huge!

How else do you celebrate running a 7k and getting a medal the size of a plate?

Broncos/Packers Football

The Broncos and Packers are not in the same division, so they don't play each other often. But when they do play each other in Denver, we try to get tickets. This year, it was one of their pre-season games. We got tickets from our friend (who's company has a suite. 😁)

It was a great place to watch a game. 

We were able to bring Josh along and Joe's cousin, Alex (not pictured but he was wearing a Broncos jersey, so that's ok). 

Go Pack Go!

Back to School Bash

Every year, the boys' school holds a Back to School Bash to celebrate the new school year. This year they had zip lining, kayaking, a rock climbing wall, face painting, bouncy houses, and a cake walk. I had to work the ticket booth so my friend took Patrick around with her family while the other two enjoyed the fun time with their friends. I have to give her credit for the photos of Patrick. It looks like he was enjoying himself.

I did get a video of Daniel zip lining but it won't let me upload it. Sorry.

I think everyone had a great time.

Petersen Visit

Our friends, the Petersens, came to visit for a few days this August. The boys were in school so they did some exploring on their own but got to spend a few days with us. We hung out at the park and ended with a visit to Breckenridge Brewery for some fun and food. 

Thanks for visiting, Petersens! It's our turn to come your way next. 

1st Day of School
