Bucket List Items 23 & 24 - Check

So Alisha has made more than just her friends motivated to get off the couch. I had a good excuse when I had to babysit while she trained, but now I guess I'd better do something besides make up for the pounds she's losing by eating potato chips. I was able to convince a few friends to run the Houston Rodeo Run (10K) with me on Feb 28. Yeah... I know it is less than 1/4 of the race Alisha did last week, but better than nothing!

Speaking of the Houston Rodeo... check out this crazy chica!

Talk about knocking out a lot of the items on your bucket list in a short period of time. Aunt Barb organized another one of her fun family email games which prompted Alisha to cross off Mechanical Bull Riding from her bucket list at the rodeo last year and then start to train for her Marathon. Don't knock off too many more... you know what happens when there is nothing left on your bucket list! ;-)

We took the kids to the zoo this weekend and took a little ride on the mini train just outside the zoo. It winds through some parks and around some beautiful ponds and statues. The kids had a lot of fun and we captured a little clip with my phone.
