RUNNING IN ASHTON AT MESA FALLS

We had the oppotunity to go to Ashton, Idaho with the Hawkin's Family to watch Howard and Boyd run a half marathon. It was the most beautiful scenery to run in. Wheat fields, then pine trees. The race actually began at the lower Mesa Falls. We had a lot of fun.



This is the Mesa Falls!! There is a upper and lower falls.

Howard actually won second place in his age group.


This is the fun you get to enjoy after a hard half-marathon.


We are sitting on the rim overlooking the falls. These are our good friends the Hawkins.

WHAT A WAY TO END THE SUMMER!!!

The Weber River has been a place to hang out for the John Family the last few weekends. The river is still high and the rapids still fun for everyone to get a thrill and then relax and enjoy the ride.
Shalyce and Jordan decided to cool off too!
McKenzie wasn't so sure this was her kind of fun!


Howard has the best ride ever!

Jordan tries to out do everyone by riding head first into the rapids!

Shalyce could have read a book as smooth as she went.

Howard got pretty engulfed by this one!

But he came out loving it!
McKenzie is always ready to try something new!
