The holiday season is in full swing! Paige and I kicked things off right with a very, fullfilling, 5 day trip to Oregon ( OOOOOO), for the Turkey day celebration. We drove into Eugene on Wednesday, after a long day on the road, and were greeted with warm hugs and smiles, as well as some very tasty pumpkin enchiladas. Thursday saw the whole crew head over to beautiful, Black Butte to feast on Terriffic Turkey, and enjoy wonderful company. Dinner was followed by a brisk stroll and warming cocktails. Amidst some great card play and jovial sportsmanship, the rest of the crew arrived later in the evening, allowing enough time to plan an action packed Friday. With full stomachs and a clear sky(we were on the sunny side of Oregon) the ambitious crew set out for a day of activity and competition. A brief synopsis of the day included eating, christmas tree hunting, eating, touch football(hail to the victors, Joel Ford MVP), eating, Pitch tournament(congratulations Bob and Sybil), and finally, sleeping. One detail of the day worth mentioning was that of an all out effort. Shannon Ford and the forty yard dash. Currently i am having technical difficulties posting the physical evidence, but in short, Shannon went all out in an attempt, and an impressive one i might add, at besting an NFL linemans 40 yard dash time of 5.0. When the dust settled and
and the watch stopped it read, 5.8! While she did not achieve her goal, i do believe she is in good company, as my research shows..."....Shaq had some good zip on the ball in passing drills, he also ran the 40-yard
dash in 5.8 seconds,.."(http://www.waitingfornextyear.com/2009/08/shaq-vs-entertaining-with-a-side-of-cheese/). Yes, Shannon is as fast as Shaq.
