March 18th - 20th 2016

Brian ran the 800m race for BYU track and that race is not a sprint but not long distance so the 800 runners generally practiced on their own. The group of runners that Brian ran with nicknamed themselves 880. We had a reunion with them back in 2011 so we were due up for another. Luckily Drew & Kristen had just finished Orthodontic School and had moved to Grand Junction Colorado (only 4 hours from us)!
The Foster's arranged for a babysitter to come visit all the kiddos so that we could go have some adult time. We headed up to Colorado National Monument and had fun exploring. We also all got to experience the joy of using a selfie stick for the first time!

Save us!!!
Doing this was a lot more terrifying that the picture makes it look. We were on a rock overhang with a good 200+ foot drop below us.
Yay no kids! lol

After hiking around for a while we headed back and got some lunch at a little mexican food place next to Drew's practice.  When we finished eating we had to go check out the new place! 

Breydon and Blakely.

Abby, Adleigh and Mel being cheerleaders. Pretty sure we could have left Adleigh there and she wouldn't have cared. 

Some track practice for the kiddos. Adleigh may be cheating a little...

All the beautiful girls! The Foster's girls had a little program for their preschool and it was followed by an Easter Egg hunt.

Brendan got to meet the Easter Bunny for the first time. He was super impressed.

Adleigh loved the Easter Bunny too! Obviously not scared enough to stop eating though.

Since Adleigh wasn't quite three yet she got to start with the 0-2 group. Oh boy did she dominate all the kids in that age group! She had a full basket before the 3-5 group started! 

Breydon figured out the hunt pretty well. He would crawl over and find an egg and then put it in his bucket. I was very surprised how fast he figured it out.

Checking out the loot!

Adleigh and her basket of Baby Ruth's. Yup every single candy was Baby Ruth... gross.

The guys spent lots and lots and lots of time competing against one another... old habits die hard. Here they are playing slam ball.

Another competition was the egg toss. This is a very close distance for them, they were throwing it two house lengths! 
880 ~ James, Brian, Drew and Keith. Just missing Justin who had to work.
