the surprise

i was disappointed in blogger with the glitch this weekend. all my comments deleted. :)
well this weekend was rather eventful.
we surprised mr. r.'s dad Papa R.
he has been wanting the family to run a 5K together.
you see he hated running, he was a biker.  so he came to me and asked for help. i put him on a running plan to gradually ease into running, and now he can run and not completely hate it. to celebrate he wanted the family to run together.  well due to injuries and sicknesses and distance not everyone could run but we agreed to all try.  we set a date may 13th.  as time went on MR R. made plans for may13th, scout camp.  no other day would allow us all together until the family trip in June.  well 2 weeks ago MR R. was called to the stake presidency so he didn't have to go to scout camp.  we decided to surprise him with a run.  we all gathered after work and waited for him to come home. ... he only showed up about 2 hours late. got stuck in surgery... so we rested
played volleyball and soccer
 he was surprised
he loved the t-shirts we made for the occasion
mr. r. wore a special shirt just for the race.... 
and he loved that everyone ran together
and i really loved the stuffed bananas we made after on the grill, and homemade ice cream
