The 4th of Huntsville

We decided to sign the entire Cresap clan up for the Huntsville 4th Fun Run

 Clint ran the 1 mile with Trace, who ran the whole way in sandals!

 Here is a cameo of Rachel McKay Sedrick, through whom Clint and I met 23 years ago!

The rest of us ran the 5k. Cole says: "I ran the whole way without stopping or drinking water. If you run really fast when you are tired, you feel like you are made out of stone. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's endurance!" You can see Cole running neck and neck toward the finish line with the Mom pushing the stroller.

That Mom did NOT want to be beat by a 10 year old! But Cole pulled it off in the end.

Cousin Hannah McKay.finishing.

 The crazy crew. The proof that I need makeup! Talmage and I finished in about 58 minutes! Jack was well ahead of us. Poor Talmage inherited Grandma Ruth Hale's flat feet; therefore, running, walking, hiking and even biking hurts! And he got my vericose veins too! So unlucky.

Cole got to be part of the Songer parade marchers.

 My favorite entry of the day: Lyle and Lavon Allen. Lyle was a fantastic Science teacher at Valley Jr. and Snowcrest for decades. One of my best friends in highschool was their talented daughter Cynthia.
The front of the car said "Just Married!" Their shirts say "Together since 1963"

The traditional 4th of July pool party at the Mckays (the McKay's never attend. They are always busy slaving away at the snowy in the park).

 The park had about 20 thousand people for the fireworks. Most of them no one from Huntsville recognized. Not such a small town celebration, anymore. But we enjoyed hanging with the inside peeps.
