after dinner we packed up and drove to the martin harris pagent in clarkston, UT. the weather was perfect for us and it was fun to be together.
saturday morning the boys woke up bright and early and did 9 holes of golf together. and then we all enjoyed a fantastic breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes, hash browns, and fruit.
after we fueled up on food we were told to surrender all our electronics (cell phones, ipads, gps) and then divided into teams. they then pulled off the greatest AMAZING RACE throughout logan, utah. the race started at 11 and ended around 4. it was so much fun. we raced through puzzles, to the transit station, onto buses, into stores, through museums & cemeteries, up hills (and down on ice blocks), through fast food drive thrus, searched for parks, built boats and raced them down streams, and devoured ice cream sundae's that filled a kitchen sink. (; it was a blast and they pulled it off so well.
the city of logan was good to us as well. it must have been crazy watching 40 people with different bandannas on rushing through various places. but, everyone was mostly entertained and nice to us. especially the bus driver who teased us with which doors he would be opening first and the mcdonalds manager who KINDLY held up my brother's-in-law car at the drive-thru while we left him the dust. (: it was FANTASTIC!

surrendering our electronics (for some this was VERY difficult)
