The Tin Cup Challenge was Saturday morning. This is a community-wide fundraiser for the non-profits in Driggs, and has grown into a wonderful community gathering and celebration. The morning starts with a number of road races (marathon, half-marathon, 10k, 5k) and culminates in a festival in the park, where the non-profits all have booths. This year's activities included a rock climbing wall, biathlon (laser gun) target shooting, golfing, crafts, hockey shots, a dunking booth, a roping arena, and hula hooping (among many other things I can't recall!).
I ran the half-marathon and ran a PR (1:49) ... not fast enough to place in my age group, but I was happy with my effort! Olympian Barb Linquist (who is in my age group) won the 1/2 in 1:32 ... fun to be among amazing people.
Brady placed in the hula hoop contest and won a hula hoop! Once the contest started, they announced, "It's not all about endurance; the judges are looking for style!" Brady immediately rose to that challenge and started invoking his own "style" ... Corb and I were just soaking up that moment!
After leaving the park, we made a quick turn-around at home and started driving north. We stopped in West Yellowstone for a huckleberry ice cream and an IMAX movie (Bears). The kids loved it (well, Mags was a little scared ... but she talked about it positively afterward). Then we continued our drive up to Bozeman, MT for an overnight. We finished the day with dinner at one of our favorites, Mackenzie River Pizza Co. It was a good day!!
This morning, we will drive up to Cascade, MT for our friend, Herb's memorial service, and we'll spend the afternoon with his family. Tonight we will head to Helena for a couple of days with Carl, Andre, and Emma Anderberg. Biking, hiking and a trip to the lake are all in the plans. Then back to Driggs Tuesday night.
