Cade and Alexa's Day With The Wild

Day At The Park

I have to say...."it was a good day at the park".  I was able to play with my camera and spend time with those I  love!  My only wish....(engagement picures).

LOTOJA

Closets need cleaning, gardens need weeding, bikes need riding...closets and gardens can wait!  LOTOJA - 3 states- 206 miles, 1 day. (Logan Utah to Jackson Hole Wyoming.)  I was invited to join a women's relay team, an experience that was new to all of us.  Maria Paspuel took the first leg-Logan to Preson.  Kim Trupp took the second leg from Preston to Montpelier (the hardest leg for sure).  I took the third leg from Montpelier to Afton. Kim (the lean, mean machine) took the 4th leg from Afton to Alpine.  Karina took us the end of the ride from Alpine to Jackson Hole. 

We started the ride at about 7:45ish and finished at about... does it really matter?  Finish it we did.  (The officials officially stopped the race but we continued to cheer in the late comers.) 

I was happy with my leg.  It was a bit of a climb but nothing that I hadn't trained for (thanks to Jess for introducing me to Squaw Peak).  I felt like my head and my body were both in a good place - on the bike!

For sure we werent' the fastest team competing-but we prevailed and we finished!  thanks girls.

Bear Lake with Random People From the Christopherson Family

What a great day!  It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood of Garden City, Utah.  We rented 2 wave runners.  The good new is  5 became bait when they fell out, 1 almost died, and 3 stayed dry.  Poor, poor Amara went home with bruises and bumps.  Her own fault really. She was going well over the speed limit in a school zone.  Bradley, rudely enough, while falling in could not handle the disgrace on  his own and took Justin with him.  Ginger didn't fall in!  The damage she has to show is her cute sunburned knees.  There was some confusion and some concern when we spotted one wave runner with no Alexa and Cade!  But alas;  they fell off going 5mph. Oh, correction.  They were parked.  Jay was oh so cool.  While going into the lake his hat was on backwards, but coming from the lake it was forward. Such confusion on Jay's (make that Brad's) part.  Cathi was a such a joy to be with; if only it weren't for the raspberries.  We will always remember this and be sure to do it again... next year.  Won't you be my neighbor?
