Thanks for the Home Host!

Many thanks to Brian and Cindy for hosting Team R.E.D. on Thursday!  The taco's were wonderful, the beer was delish, and the Jello-Shots made it feel like college circa 1985! - I believe Claire gets the credit for the jello-shots.

Sarah reports turning 40 is not all that bad when you have so many great friends ready to support you on a 40 Mile trail run!   Congrats for getting that done!

Chris, Jen, Jess, Cathy Megan, Lana, Chrisina, Jim, Vicki, Jake, Sarah, Lorelei, Elaine, Gwen and Megan!  Others made appearances throughout the journey!  

Speaking of birthdays...   Aaron David Aslakson was born on Aug 26th!   Adam and Amber are excited to get things rolling as a family of three!  We're so happy for them!

The happy family!
