Saturday we headed for Beaver City around 10. We decided to stop at my brother in law's farm first, just outside of Orleans. We hung around there until like 3 before heading into town. It was the 65th wedding anniversary for Lori's grandparents. It was a nice event with like 100 people in attendance. Bret and I went over to the park and played catch with a football a couple of times near the gazebo in the photograph. As the night wore down though, they had rented the city pool for the family so the kids and their parents made their way over there. It was the highlight of the night. They had a diving board so we all went off of that and we were there for like 2 1/2 hours and that time flew by. Some of the guys were doing some crazy dives. The bugs got super bad by the end of the night though. Then we drove back to the farm where we were staying and I snuggled up with Bret in bed and we fell asleep watching Shrek 2.
I got up early because Shellie (my sister in law) had promised that she was going to run with me. I gave her a copy of The Secret the night before so I think the motivated her even more. So we took off running around 9. It was hot out already especially on the gravel, country roads. She did super though and made it to the stop sign at the top of the hill as we headed west. We then turned north walking and then running and then walking and then running. Finally she said I should just run ahead and then come back and she would start walking back. That was good and then she ran when I met back up with her. When we got back to the house I made waffles. We had that planned out and we had all kinds of toppings from strawberries to whipped topping to chocolate to peanut butter. It was great! After a bit of playing with the nieces (they are both super cute), we were off to pick up Max from my mom and dad's house and then home by 6.
