We spent the 4th of July watching fireworks up on the property with Val and Kaitlyn.
Sarah and Fred arrived late Friday night for a week in Big Sky Country. Saturday morning we left for Missoula for race weekend. Jen, Sarah, Meredith (Jen and CK's cousin) and I all ran the Missoula Marathon as a relay Sunday morning. In addition, 4 other cousins had a 2nd relay team. The best surprise was having guest fans (including Jan and Val) make the trip all the way to Missoula to cheer us on.
Sarah ran the 2nd leg and "passed the baton" to me. Here are Renee (the other LaFond relay team's 3rd leg and CK's cousin) and I looking at the runners going by at our exchange point waiting for our teammates.

And the sisters pass the "baton" (actually the timing chip)...
The relay teams and their fans
Pre race...all smiles and so friendly
The next day everyone's competitive spirit came out (not really but it made for a good picture)
