April: Pear Blossom Reunion

Brian & Kathryn Hall both began running this past year. We had heard word that Kathryn and Stu had melted away their former selves. Kathryn had just completed her first 1/2 marathon. She and Stu decided to come out on their spring break to Oregon to run the Pear Blossom. With their arrival, other family members wanted to come visit too! Liz came along with little Tom from Utah. Steven and Brianne came from Idaho. All of the siblings decided to participate in the Pear Blossom festivities. We also did a lot of other activities...
