The countdown is on.

There is a lot going on in St. George this weekend. We are very greatful to live in such an active community. Just about every weekend you can find something that can cater to your active lifestyle.

Saturday is the Zion Canyon 10k fun run. For those of you that are unfamiliar with running a 10k is 6.2 miles. We are really looking forward to this run because there are alot of us that are participating. Myself, Brittney, her brother Ryan and sister-in-law Laura, My dad Kirk, sister Heather, and Aunt Roxie are all running this once in a lifetime event. The reason that this is a once in a lifetime event is because they are doing this as part of their Centenial Celebration.

It is also the Dixie Escalante Kite festival that the school kids are a part of. During the School year the kids are asked to read a certain amount of pages or minutes and as they do they earn a free kite that they get to fly at the kite festival.

Last but not least is the S.H.A.C. Triathlon. We have done this triathlon in the past with the two older kids doing it last year for the first time. We figured that we would pass it up this year as we have been getting more into running that anything else.
