Pole Peddle Paddle Race 2009

May 16 2009 was the 33rd annual Pole Peddle Paddle Race here in beautiful Bend Oregon. We decided to participate in the race this year and when I say WE I mean even ME, even tho I didn't actually officially participate. But, I signed everyone up and I ran from place to place to take pictures, with Paige in tow, so in my book on an 84 degree day with Paige whining for everything from a snuggle with a movie, which sounded really good at times, to the guys beer who was sitting next to us at the canoe leg, she was thirsty, I felt like I had run a marathon when it was all over, but it sure was fun!!! It started out with Eric doing the downhill skiing part, then Cody took off on a 5 mile cross country ski route. He had never cross country skiied in his life!! He did great!! Even after falling over after the first mile and breaking his pole!! So the one pole wonder finally arrived and Cole took off on his bike and headed 22 miles from Mt. Bachelor to Bend. My pictures start there. I have some from the beginning that Eric took but I couldn't find them on my computer this morning. I hate computers, wait, I love computers. Ok, I love computers when they don't make me feel stupid, so mostly I hate them. I know those pictures are on here somewhere!!!! UGH! So for now enjoy the ones I COULD find.
