Miniature Golfing & the Rankins farewell

 
For Labor Day we did not labor at all - Scott & the boys played flag football with the greatest turn-out ever. Then we went to Red Robin for burgers & fries (in anticipation of the upcoming diet) and then miniature golfing at Frankie's Fun Park. We didn't keep score & miniature golf was much more enjoyable (for the usual losers of the family).


 

Greg & Joyce are a GREAT family who lived in our ward for many years. Bro. Rankin just got a new job in Virginia & so they are moving away. :( We are sad for many reasons - we love them; we love their kids; Brother Rankin has the best laugh ever!; Christopher has learned a lot from Bro. Rankin in his priesthood classes. We went to Wasabi with a bunch of ward members as a farewell dinner. It might sound trite but - the food was great but the company was better. Joyce was recently diagnosed with breast cancer so we are sending lots of prayers & good wishes their direction. They are really some of the best people we have ever known.

I am planning on doing the breast cancer walk/run in October - anyone else want to join me? I am not the fastest mover on the block but it is a really fun & moving event.
