Everything Happens In Threes...

This past weekend was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!!
It was busy BUT, tons of fun :-)

I'm going to jump right into telling you about Sunday.
The team got together at Kern Cliff Park for trail running and a bit of strength training... hold on I'm getting ahead of myself here... let's start from the beginning, shall we???

Sunday was Father's Day...
Hope all you daddies out there had a GREAT day!!!
In our household, it's become tradition that for Mother's/Father's Day the better half helps the kiddies prepare breakfast as a way of celebrating this special day together :-)
Got up early on Sunday, before everyone and went for a nice run.
When I got back my father in-law was walking up our driveway.
He came by to look at our furnace because our air conditioner for some reason was not working last night... felt hot and sweaty while sleeping (and not in a good way)... not much sleep :-(

The kiddies had got up and were ready to make breakfast for their wonderful daddy. I needed to take a quick shower before getting breakfast started... daddy was still sleeping :-)
While getting breakfast ready, daddy and grandpa (A.K.A. Nonno, grandpa in Italian) sat and opened their gifts from the kiddies for Father's Day.
The five of us sat and enjoyed breakfast together.
It was great because this was the first year that the kids got to have breakfast with two of their favourite men in their lives (their other grandpa got his fill in the afternoon).
I quickly ate and rushed off to meet the wonderful ladies (A.K.A. The Team) at Kern Cliff Park @ 10am.

I love the drives on Sundays before and after meeting up with the team.
It's my time to enjoy... those who have kids, you know what I'm talking about, we'll even take going to the bathroom without our names being called, so yes, I enjoy the ride to Neverland.
I turn up the tunes as loud as I can to drown out my voice while I sing along :-)

As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed tons of people.
There was a Asian tour group of about fifty or more people, getting ready to do a hike together.
I met up with: Susie, Shannon, Keri, Gail, and Amy.
While standing there talking and waiting to see if any more members would show up, we noticed a used condom on the floor...YUK!!!
We all laughed about it.
We waited but no other member showed up, so off we went to our trail run before the tour group got started.
It was slippery, muddy and wet on the trails.

Approximately ten minutes into our run, Amy injured her left ankle.
We all felt really bad for her because we knew how much she enjoyed the challenges and the boot camps.

While helping Amy back to the parking lot, Keri stepped in dog poop with her brand new shoes... you had to just laugh, better than crying... just saying, JUST Saying!!!
NOT that you're a crier Keri... XOXOXOXOXOXO
Poor girl had her shoes Christened by doggie crap!!!
Don't worry, she got it all off... YOU GO KERI :-)

Hence the title: "Everthing Happens In Threes".
1) Used condom... YUK!!!
2) Amy's ankle... Sucks!!!
3) Keri stepping in doggie doo doo... Stinker!!!

Anyhow, back to the story.
If I start to ramble... just stop reading this :-)

Shannon took Amy home and hopefully had her ankle looked at by a Dr.
Gail, Keri and I kind of stood their after Shannon and Amy took off, staring at Susie wondering if we were going to call it a day... yeah, right!!!
Susie asked us if we still were up for a run, we all said: "yes"... so, off we went.
Lots of hills, great workout.
It was a nice run, we took turns talking because that's one of so many things we do best as women... we talk :-)
There was a point in one of our many conversations, where we talked about Susie's work as a firefighter.
We (okay, maybe not Susie) were all in agreeance as to how we found firefighters really HOT!!!
There's something about firefighters... could be the uniform but, it's not the same if you see a police officer, doctor, etc.
Firefighters have that je ne sais quoi :-)

We got to a look out point, overlooking the area where we first worked out about a month or so ago.
We did some push-ups, lunges with kicks, tricep dips, etc.
It was great... we continued our run back to the parking lot.
It was a hot day but, it was nice running through the trails, nice breeze.

At the end of our run, Susie treated us to chocolate milk... everyone's favourite :-)
THANKS Susie... XO!!!

Before heading home, I stopped by Indigo's to get a smoothie and latte... LOVING IT!!!
And of course to use the washroom... you sure don't want to use what is offered at Kern Cliff... just ask Susie and Amy, who came out gagging... talk about YUK!!! That ain't delicious Gail... LOL ;-)

Got home, quickly showered while hubby and kiddies were still out enjoying their "daddy and little bundles of joy day" together, bike riding through the park and neighbourhood.
We took a drive out to visit my parents for Father's Day.
Enjoyed the rest of the afternoon together with my parents, sister and her kids, swimming in their pool, eating and all that other fun stuff :-)

The life... I'm loving it!!!
XO
