Grandma & Grandpa Tippets

Last Saturday, my parents volunteered as part of the Event Staff that helped run the 206 mile bike race from Logan, Utah to Jackson, Wyoming. There were somewhere between 1000 and 1400 bike riders. Many many riders come from all over the world to participate in this bike race. Mom and dad helped with parking and the support crews in Alpine, Wyoming just before the journey up Snake River Canyon. Max and I had gone to Jackson for the day and on our way home we passed the first few bikers on their way through the canyon. The average speed for the front runners is 24 mph. That is unbelievable to me! Snake River Canyon is difficult but, the bikers had two others that were harder from what I hear. Amazing strength these athletes have.

On Sunday, September 13th, mom & dad celebrated their 49th anniversary. We had some of their friends over for a little dessert party. It was a nice evening with their friends and Max and I played down here in the basement. We served chocolate oreo truffles, mini cherry cheesecakes and mexican chocolate cake. Yum! Happy Anniversary mom & dad!
