Jamie ran in the Canyonlands Half Marathon on Saturday morning in Moab, so Chieko and I drove down to cheer her on, and to spend time with the whole family. Jamie did really well. She can tell about it, but she beat one of our neighbors whom I see running around the neighborhood a lot (okay, maybe the neighbor is a little older, but still).After the marathon we all went to Arches, including Carol, Brian's mother. The best spot was probably Sand Dune Arch, which is the perfect playground with narrow walkways, plenty of climbing rocks, and lots of sand.
The most entertaining part was when we were all following Chieko through a narrow passageway. She got t
hrough the alley first and hid behind the rock wall to scare Caleb.Unfortunately for her, a young couple was in a hurry, so we let them past us.
Unfortunately for them, too. Chieko jumped out decked out with sunglasses, a hat and a hood, and hands out like bear claws. She yelled "aaarggghhh!!" The couple was shocked, and Chieko turned Japanese red. We all had a good laugh.

I am wiping away a tear from laughing, remembering mom jumping out at those poor people. Thanks for spending the weekend with us!
That is funny. One of the girls on my bosses other crew did that to me one night when I got out of the freight elevator. She thought it was a co-worker and she turned pretty red.
I wish we could have been there to see mom! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a while.
