They both did very well in the race, and it was fun to watch them. We got a little worried about Jake when he didn't show up after his second lap - we knew it wasn't like him to be so far behind, especially since he had done really well in the first lap. And then when he didn't show up at all.....hmm. Sure enough, he'd had an unfortunate breakdown while going up a rocky two mile climb (he lost the master link on his chain). He unfortunately had to sit around for over an hour until the race was over and the sweepers came through to pick up all the broken bikes and their riders. He was able to finish the race though, because a girl who the sweepers were towing out happened to have an extra master link on her.
Other than that slight problem, it was a fun day! We celebrated Jake's birthday that night with some steaks and an ice cream cake. It was a fun, although quick, trip. Sadly, we didn't get any pictures, but I'm sure Matt and Jake will post some.
On Sunday morning we all got up early and drove back up to Spanish Fork to be with Rob and Mindy for Megan's blessing. Rob gave her a beautiful blessing, and she was a very well-behaved little girl! She looked so cute in the dress that Mindy's mom had made for her. Afterwards the families shared a lunch at Rob and Mindy's house.
Here are a few pictures:

We are so grateful that we can be here to be a part of these special events!
Oh, and this last picture is Abby dancing in Bekah's old ballet costume. She loved it, and she also loved carrying around the picture of Bekah wearing this costume back when she was 4.
