2009 Race for the Cure

We went to Helena for Race for the Cure last weekend & had a BLAST! I left work early on Friday so we could get to Helena early, relax, swim & visit with the Wilmas. I was meeting my parents in Bozeman for supper & then my Mom & I would be off. Well my Dad wanted to get home so he ate & left before we were finished. So as my Mom & I were almost finished, I asked my Mom where her bags were. 

Side note: Now you have to understand my Mom. She would be devistated to go somewhere without her curling iron & make up. There would be no borrowing that stuff for her.

She looked at me and said a couple choice words. She tried to my brother in Gardiner. No answer. She tried his girlfriend. No answer. She knew they would be at Kelly's shop. He answered. Gave the phone to Maaika and said, "It sounds important." My Mom asked her to try track down my Dad via the highway so we wouldn't have to go all the way back to Gardiner to get her bags. My Dad, of course, doesn't own a cell phone nor does he know how to use one. So I got on my phone called Town Pump knowing he would stop there for gas. I also knew he would go inside since he pays cash for gas. I told the gal on the phone, "My Dad will be coming in to pay for gas. He has glasses on and a Scheel's hat. Please tell him to wait for us. He has Moms' bags." So we ZOOM and I mean ZOOM to Livingston. No Dad at the Town Pump nor did he leave her bags there. So off we head to Gardiner. Maaika calls at Pray, about 20 minutes south of Livingston. She says, " THE BAGS HAVE BEEN SECURED. THE BAGS HAVE BEEN SECURED." We met her, got the bags and off we went. So we got to Helena about 9pm. We had a great time! It is always good to hang out with the Wilmas. It seems our outings get bigger & bigger. More kidos. More family. It is GREAT!! Then Keri & I headed to Gardiner after the race. So here are a few pictures from our wild adventure. 

This weekend we are off to camp & fish at Tongue River. I cannot wait! I am sure there will be some great pictures to post. Sounds like there might be about 30 people coming!
