Relay for Life!

Every year we participate in the Relay for Life. Its a fundraiser for cancer research where we walk all night long. We have a little campsite set up and they have food, entertainment, and lots of stuff going on as we walk around a track. Someone from your team is supposed to be walking at all times, the rest of us can hang out and visit and enjoy each other's company until its our turn to walk. Its usually really fun and a nice time to think about my Mom and her brother Barry. This year I was in a really bad mood so i didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. McKenna had been sick the few days prior to that so I didn't stay the whole night because I needed a good nights sleep. Ryan and the kids came for about an hour and then Ryan took them out to Cardston for the night. It took me a while to get into it, but by the end of the night I was happy to be with my family. The day before was the the day (two years ago) that Mom passed. It was a really hard couple of days. It hit me harder then I thought was still possible after two years. Hopefully next year will be a more enjoyable experience for me. I didn't get too many pictures but here's one of my family before they headed off to Cardston.
