Marathon Weekend

I know you were all thinking, Jodi is in no way good enough shape to run a marathon!  You are right!  This weekend our ward did a Book of Mormon Marathon.  On Thursday and Friday evening and ALL day Saturday we completed the entire Book of Mormon.  People in the ward sign up in 10 minute increments and we plow our way through.  Or as Kim and I said, you eat your way through.  I have never eaten so many treats and drank so much Diet Coke.  At one point we made a joke to hire a Coke truck to park outside.  Here are a few photos…

Check out Reagan above,  mouth stuffed full.  I love it.  Taylor, Hunter and Reagan did wonderful!  I swear Reagan could sit in one place for days as long as someone is tickling her arm or leg.  She just flopped back and forth between Kim, Shea and I.

What a great experience to be touched by such a wonderful book.  There were about 30 families in the ward who attended all or part of the Marathon.

I love it!!! The kids were begging at BYC to do it every 6 months!!! Pretty awesome considering they were reading the Book of Mormon. I am going to steal some of your pictures.

What better way to spend time at church is comfy clothes eating lots of food.
