Okay, this is a catch all for the last week. Sorry to leave you all hanging and I do feel loved not stalked and am happy to have you all watching out for me.  I did the crest trail with Leslie on Saturday, owh!  I couldn't walk normal until yesterday.  Dang that was hard.  We have had a ton of fun, swimming, arcades, phantom on the opera, tournament of the kings, buffets, m&m world.  All the freebie stuff, the aquarium.  too many buffetts......oh and the venetian gave us eighty bucks of credits to spend in the slots so we played their eighty and walked away with ninety cash of our"winnings"  which we got to keep.  Now that's what I call gambling.  Can't bear to put my own money in the things :)  thank you all for caring.  I have been a slacker, sort of, walking for 6-10 hours a day carrying kids is not easy but I didn't get official "runs" in.  But I did do some pool running, much cooler, tougher cardio man.

Breaking dawn was great, and I loved it.  We will be driving all day tomorrow and I will blog next time after I do my little tri on saturday.  Love you all :)

Oh and Leslie, remember how I told you that if anybody was hurt it would be my husband?  Well we went to the er after the run he bruised his hand pretty bad and we thought it was broke, but just some bone bruising, lots of pain, no cast, just loritab:)

Glad you are ALIVE, I was sooooo worried! Sounds like to you had a great time with the fam!

Sorry about Chris's hand, I am glad it wasn't broke. My hubby took two falls and one of the Steve's did too, so he wasn't alone!

Good luck on the TRI!!!!

I was starting to wonder if you had fallen off the face of the earth! Glad you had a good time. Sorry Leslie put your through so much pain (you should have hung with me - I didn't have any :)).

Glad Chris didn't break his hand. Too bad he didn't have his trail tires on.
