Grandpa Angle's 80th Birthday Party

We had a really fun day yesterday in Thatcher celebrating Grandpa Angle's 80th birthday. We completed a session in the beautiful new Gila Valley Temple. After that we went to the park and had a BBQ and played games. Grandpa played Run Sheepy Run with us and did some foot races. He is still fast. Now I know where Chad's speed comes from. It would be really cool if there were a way to see Grandpa and Chad race back when Grandpa was in his prime. I think Grandpa really would give Chad a run for his money.

After the races were over I asked Grandpa if he was going to be sore after all that racing and he said his legs would probably be sore. Then he said that he hasn't run in years and that if he would've known he was going to run he would have started training a month ago so he could beat everyone.

What a blessing to be so active when you are 80. We love you Grandpa and hope that we can be in as good a shape as you when we are 80!
