Hi Jamie. <br /><br />You can't really tell because I changed the settings on my camera so it would pick up the light, but it was really dark outside and you needed a flashlight to get around. That is the reason that Jamie is so out of focus if you zoom in because with the naked eye you weren't able to see her. In fact from where I took the picture of Jamie I could barely make out the trucks outline. These next two pictures were taken one right after the other so you can kind of see how dark it was.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8FcaVZcREOtPBHcPZ7isPwA3DU6Rf6MnOOQsQ8-qtNVb_1yfFPWnR_IUwMbu2jzkqOVn3vK9N5K3sR67Gd9SpLHbr4-ekIjprA_2vX2nMBa2SAWsN7_HeLOKg7QPhYfAGHR2jXaFgjPU/s1600-h/Hola+031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw8FcaVZcREOtPBHcPZ7isPwA3DU6Rf6MnOOQsQ8-qtNVb_1yfFPWnR_IUwMbu2jzkqOVn3vK9N5K3sR67Gd9SpLHbr4-ekIjprA_2vX2nMBa2SAWsN7_HeLOKg7QPhYfAGHR2jXaFgjPU/s320/Hola+031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380074180558635714" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YeJmN6LIK-jWqme8Rndo4c-As68QEqyaEmGvvibv79bqsnA_HJWEFXgG8xE9059p7e6487yOZS7koAD6WaDnQ94x9ebWibn21EXlFpI4XTCG53c0qFM7Pw1ZFPWSoDpBDF8T0f-hX81h/s1600-h/Hola+032.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YeJmN6LIK-jWqme8Rndo4c-As68QEqyaEmGvvibv79bqsnA_HJWEFXgG8xE9059p7e6487yOZS7koAD6WaDnQ94x9ebWibn21EXlFpI4XTCG53c0qFM7Pw1ZFPWSoDpBDF8T0f-hX81h/s320/Hola+032.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380074187760313554" /></a><br /><br />The moon was out so I wasn't really able to get a good picture of the stars, but I got some good ones of the clouds.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wse52ehjpw3Weu3LTbLc2wpawV1L4paIDwoiqig2DW6sYzhPLEXo7ZTQTg6gbxK2U69mxyFJHLUqLiyS38qUBq_sTxE4Oni_1ilcPPuWhKhehc9lysi5T3Smxm8o-CthcLKY1C5e43W1/s1600-h/Hola+007.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0wse52ehjpw3Weu3LTbLc2wpawV1L4paIDwoiqig2DW6sYzhPLEXo7ZTQTg6gbxK2U69mxyFJHLUqLiyS38qUBq_sTxE4Oni_1ilcPPuWhKhehc9lysi5T3Smxm8o-CthcLKY1C5e43W1/s320/Hola+007.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380072820720334354" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE3r8FXGWsISAT9bbxPw8tNo99lKqcUt9BvYmDNG7N1Qrd8lIq6kUZtUjQRRvX11_ZkftnpUJraNcBuK3EVoQ6XlZ-aw7z0ItzUNpbcVvAltgZx5qgxPHfzWl_LAevjvks2lK28U3M406/s1600-h/Hola+026.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE3r8FXGWsISAT9bbxPw8tNo99lKqcUt9BvYmDNG7N1Qrd8lIq6kUZtUjQRRvX11_ZkftnpUJraNcBuK3EVoQ6XlZ-aw7z0ItzUNpbcVvAltgZx5qgxPHfzWl_LAevjvks2lK28U3M406/s320/Hola+026.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380072845483196146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbi0IKuRB57oS3gQAxS2Ig702F0Bufv9d8KlrvvsnvqZrLwOJRhhqgtKvSUW8W0E3CBmfb8clIHfeymHrxidHxmLAOPZmD219J9HOmejP8-GHCMe_XT18bC3Epfce1r1ASvroo036ePJ0/s1600-h/Hola+004.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbi0IKuRB57oS3gQAxS2Ig702F0Bufv9d8KlrvvsnvqZrLwOJRhhqgtKvSUW8W0E3CBmfb8clIHfeymHrxidHxmLAOPZmD219J9HOmejP8-GHCMe_XT18bC3Epfce1r1ASvroo036ePJ0/s320/Hola+004.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380072836891703170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-OCMsn5smmVV5Msq9l8YGmLF_vmamtMOhRFwSQZnNi-VMZD2vDnDcg6LMXliNKkJGDwegHwIRzR4AStN01DiDsoQzckXFz48e-Zz4Wcz_ILNZlYZRQb5xmYVOwaHH1R2SKBfwLi8ezCp/s1600-h/Hola+006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk-OCMsn5smmVV5Msq9l8YGmLF_vmamtMOhRFwSQZnNi-VMZD2vDnDcg6LMXliNKkJGDwegHwIRzR4AStN01DiDsoQzckXFz48e-Zz4Wcz_ILNZlYZRQb5xmYVOwaHH1R2SKBfwLi8ezCp/s320/Hola+006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380072826865644018" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15494806321877138311noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851631597046773268.post-11255913921755929672009-08-20T00:55:00.004-06:002009-08-20T01:45:07.372-06:00The Performers StudioJamie has been involved in a 9 month singing class with the Performers Studio and last weekend was her final performance.

Let me just tell you that this trip was a regular blast! This was Jamie's and my first scuba trip outside of the confines of a scuba classroom. As the old adage says "you learn a lot more by jumping into a lake with all of your scuba gear than you do in a scuba classroom."<br /><br />Lesson 1, Nothing is better than a good plan... except for a nice MLT where the mutton is nice and lean...<br /><br />Our planning consisted of "We are going to go down 20 feet and swim to the island." We all went under water and that was the end of communicating because how do you talk with each other under water? After about 5 minutes of floundering around we all resurfaced and came up with a better plan. The visibility was about 5 feet and it was hard not to lose each other. We decided Nate was going to lead, Jamie would go second, and I would be last. We went down again. I saw Nate slowly vanish, and saw Jamie starting to swim. I started to follow and after about two kicks I felt a little tap on my fin. I turned around and saw Nate. How in the world did he get behind me so fast?!? Also WHERE DID JAMIE GO? As I turned around to get her attention she was gone.<br /><br />Here is Jamie<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfouFX-dFSch7nxiCkbXti4LttzOBDBe70a9D4OZ1U9l41ihxUQuG3wtvM-HOriT9MNrqDzQHWTMIWkRjimMqy-drmih5oUtJ24c8Iobv6rr0iIbSGW7DicEcEiPrDzx_16tXFusXvpzY/s1600-h/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+148.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXfouFX-dFSch7nxiCkbXti4LttzOBDBe70a9D4OZ1U9l41ihxUQuG3wtvM-HOriT9MNrqDzQHWTMIWkRjimMqy-drmih5oUtJ24c8Iobv6rr0iIbSGW7DicEcEiPrDzx_16tXFusXvpzY/s320/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+148.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368554700430416034" /></a><br /><br />Lesson 2 If you can't see me I can't see you and that is a bad thing.<br /><br />You learn in class that if someone gets lost you are supposed to resurface and find them because safety comes first. When we first got in the water Jamie was having trouble with her ears and that was some of the reason why we re-surfaced the first time. I thought that as soon as she saw that Nate was not in front of her and that I was not behind her she would come up and wait for us just like we learned in class. I started to panic because she couldn't stay down that long with ear problems and she shouldn't stay down that long if she couldn't find us. Well she didn't want to come back up because her ears had acclimatized, so no matter how lost we were she knew where she was and that was good enough.<br /><br />(Here is a little side lesson that comes extra with the price of admission to my blog. It is easy to keep track of yourself. It was even easy to keep track of one other person, but when your attention is split with two people that is when you lose people.)<br /><br />Lesson 3, If there are cops around do not admit to doing anything wrong... It will only get you into trouble!<br /><br />Here is Nate<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESVGdETB6Ukr4zQl8qfY25Ia4qOsggYdQ87bXxkgP31xOVnNhARY5kqi4QdmkEuRot8htfXqz_7VwJIw_7oZ-mK4y59PPYZRrNVxG5bKLFarxMYYSeQx-ETopl5m2Qto8mttPU-m0qjD5/s1600-h/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+147.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgESVGdETB6Ukr4zQl8qfY25Ia4qOsggYdQ87bXxkgP31xOVnNhARY5kqi4QdmkEuRot8htfXqz_7VwJIw_7oZ-mK4y59PPYZRrNVxG5bKLFarxMYYSeQx-ETopl5m2Qto8mttPU-m0qjD5/s320/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+147.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368554687770187458" /></a><br /><br />Nate and I would swim a little looking for Jamie and then surface to see if she had surfaced, then we would repeat. It was a little hard to hear while we were on the surface due to the fact that we were wearing our scuba caps and little did we know that we were shouting "I can't find her do you know where she is?" In a matter of minutes there were 5 different police cars on the shore ready to give aid at a moments notice. After about 15 minutes Jamie finally did re-surface and search and rescue was called off... for the moment. We decided that we would all hold on to our dive flag's rope that was connected to my vest and proceed.<br /><br />Lesson 4, If your spiritual compass is broken it will always lead to a dam. I mean there is magnetic pull toward a dam. <br /><br />Well, now I was in the lead and since we couldn't see the island under the water a compass heading was taken and I started to follow. My compass was not working, it just kept slowly turning to the right. I was trying to compensate and go left, but it was to no avail. My compass kept taking me to something that was making a lot of noise. So I would re-surface and get a visual on the island and go back down and rely on my compass. With in a matter of kicks it would take me right back to the loud noise.<br /><br />Lesson 5, If there is no air in the tank you can't breath under water... unless your name is Aqua Man<br /><br />Well, after searching for Jamie and all of my bad directions we were getting low on air so we had to surface and swim back to the shore never having made it to the island. When we surfaced I noticed that the loud noise was the dam and it was slowly dragging us toward it. It took a little bit of effort, but we over came the pull of the dam and swam back to shore with all of this newly acquired knowledge. As we walked to the truck we waved as we saw the police cars leaving in single file. Sorry you didn't get to practice your skills today Search and Rescue, maybe next time...<br /><br />Here we all are with our divers flag<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT5dm4t4r7Mw0EoqvmA0lwpzRm6G8L4Cf7YP50xRRCbKQgBiijAiI8ViSH02TPvMR7tUKQXqB4kQgauCuHt_WG-atfWo4fSP53jJDjgLniCPoG13InvyIJc5wGVe2rcs4VVyzvBOkCtVCm/s1600-h/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+155.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT5dm4t4r7Mw0EoqvmA0lwpzRm6G8L4Cf7YP50xRRCbKQgBiijAiI8ViSH02TPvMR7tUKQXqB4kQgauCuHt_WG-atfWo4fSP53jJDjgLniCPoG13InvyIJc5wGVe2rcs4VVyzvBOkCtVCm/s320/Scuba+Flaming+George+09+155.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368554718298347970" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15494806321877138311noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851631597046773268.post-12855271563514755152009-08-10T21:12:00.003-06:002009-08-10T21:34:59.723-06:00Jamie's ConcertHere are some pictures when Jamie preformed during a Local Talent Night at one of the clubs here in Salt Lake.

We have heard how salty it is and how many bugs there are out there, but we wanted to experience it first hand. Well, we blew up our little raft at Saltair and we walked the long walk through all of the bugs to get to the Lake. When we finally reached the water the whole bottom of our boat was covered with bugs. About 1/2 had died because they got baked with the sun on the plastic and then the rest were flying around trying not to die. We looked in our bag that had all of our stuff in it and there was about a half inch of dead bugs that had gotten in our bag and got smashed. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQIVRweu0jeuCYr_a4G1F_eQWiRHuWhrkoiB8WvNIQ4WAPbtqNkUgkGF4ubTvsp1u1bODJQmv6LG33JiV8iAo5ODj68fSgZyTryX1ozgVTL4HcZDOJvblRcEhA-G21SAdTG31ech6yH_w/s1600-h/IMG_2488.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQIVRweu0jeuCYr_a4G1F_eQWiRHuWhrkoiB8WvNIQ4WAPbtqNkUgkGF4ubTvsp1u1bODJQmv6LG33JiV8iAo5ODj68fSgZyTryX1ozgVTL4HcZDOJvblRcEhA-G21SAdTG31ech6yH_w/s200/IMG_2488.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365898168350401362" /></a><br /><br /><br />We put the boat upside down in the water to get rid of all the bugs in the boat and we paddled out about 400 yards until we finally got away from the bugs. At this point Sam thought it would be fun to do some snorkeling so he put on his flippers and his mask and jumped out and I was a bit surprised that he didn't sink. His feet hit the ground and he didn't even get his hair wet. He quickly took off his flippers because there was a lot of sand that got in them that was rubbing against his foot. He pushed me around for a little bit then I decided to get in. I didn't put my head in the water like Sam did, but it was fun. We were both surprised how buoyant we were. Sam kept trying to do hand stands on the bottom, but he couldn't stay down. Well, Sam had enough salt in his eyes and nose so we both pushed the boat back in and we were amazed how much faster we were able to walk to shore than it took to paddle out.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWA2Sehu4uFresoYxS2AwXnR5qQB2IeAlFPc_b2jR_lMAWg-VWiWNg4uPqCTrAYoIC0xLbACIbHwiJv2AlQVfnOpzfjh-9lOqGdSdNO1hlbhnOz2qyFiVHZI4FiHpsq4fDLVJw29XXl0/s1600-h/IMG_2487.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWA2Sehu4uFresoYxS2AwXnR5qQB2IeAlFPc_b2jR_lMAWg-VWiWNg4uPqCTrAYoIC0xLbACIbHwiJv2AlQVfnOpzfjh-9lOqGdSdNO1hlbhnOz2qyFiVHZI4FiHpsq4fDLVJw29XXl0/s200/IMG_2487.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365898177424258178" /></a><br /><br /><br />We then drove out to my parents because they live close and we took a shower to get all of the salt off of us. It took a long time to get all of the bugs and salt off of everything that we took. There was salt covering everything that was in the back seat where we put our partially deflated boat. Salt was all over the windows and the towels that we had to protect our seat.

The excitement of the start of the Holiday's. Birthdays. October is always a busy month for us- so here is a brief summary of our time.<br /><br />The following pic is from the birthday party with Sam's family for both Sam and Nate. This is William (the cutest nephew ever) playing with the Hulk hands Sam's mom gave him. It was a wonderful weekend. We were able to watch conference- which is always calming and a blessing, enjoy a nice drive up Cedar Canyon in our new truck (pics coming), spend time with the family, and learn that we get to be uncle and aunt to another baby in a few months! We are truly blessed!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZUcTMKoyKcgsJp2qbZy220uaPq-I6j1VMG0R1Q1ml87eXEFivCyQ_lA8FPsjUKFYokJIzqTALP4rugGgibic4czfdPn2QG65bk3KTD02jU8rgiiTAbb0T6T-ut9q7uxqyzYijfYKG3U/s1600-h/October+08+018.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyZUcTMKoyKcgsJp2qbZy220uaPq-I6j1VMG0R1Q1ml87eXEFivCyQ_lA8FPsjUKFYokJIzqTALP4rugGgibic4czfdPn2QG65bk3KTD02jU8rgiiTAbb0T6T-ut9q7uxqyzYijfYKG3U/s320/October+08+018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264621303945896434" /></a><br /><br />A couple weekends ago the weather was so warm Sam took me to the driving range! Doesn't he look like a pro!! Perhaps he will get updated clubs for Christmas... if anyone knows a good place to look let me know :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5k3o7r4u6Z__lNgLVbJPNZctTT0cuMQV3udGkqK14z5xDv7gNnlvhLLai0UP6wornltgxRpQktrIvqyt-TJXkqHhV4YXniULk9qJWj6GZ61JS85w04Ag2kkL-ujTsxLeofeOmWiYFfw/s1600-h/October+08+035.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj5k3o7r4u6Z__lNgLVbJPNZctTT0cuMQV3udGkqK14z5xDv7gNnlvhLLai0UP6wornltgxRpQktrIvqyt-TJXkqHhV4YXniULk9qJWj6GZ61JS85w04Ag2kkL-ujTsxLeofeOmWiYFfw/s320/October+08+035.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264621307741120114" /></a><br /><br /><br />Then, Halloween weekend we went to Tuacahn and saw "Thriller." It was quite enjoyable! We were then able to spend time with Nate, Mel, and Will- it was fun to have him all to ourselves :) We had lunch with Craig, Diana, and Cayson- I just have to say he had the cutest expressions (Sam just couldn't get over how he would sigh, look so serious, and hold his head in his hands). Then we were able to head up over the mountain to Orderville and spend time with Jeff, Jenna, and Dallin. They are doing so well and Jenna really has their house decorated up nice. Dallin was the sweetest guy- we sure enjoyed our time with them!<br /><br />After all that we headed for the family cabin to spend the night and Sunday morning with Sam's dad. On the way there was a controlled burn, and of course Sam had to stop and take pics (which would be the reason my car still smells like smoke :). Here is my picture of the fire... well actually of Sam taking pictures of the fire!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91bXo83UislWQnk_1v3slIQRpbtAgRZ7IJ7ruEtnz1zZEaYblkDwMSDB34PKV29BvAN06m07x_ErHKJLtNGnFhThRp5IDf81r-IZ5E0XpHsXeSSI3__lqeCFHWYSuliDsYu_aceC71y0/s1600-h/October+08+048.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91bXo83UislWQnk_1v3slIQRpbtAgRZ7IJ7ruEtnz1zZEaYblkDwMSDB34PKV29BvAN06m07x_ErHKJLtNGnFhThRp5IDf81r-IZ5E0XpHsXeSSI3__lqeCFHWYSuliDsYu_aceC71y0/s320/October+08+048.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264621324451405490" /></a><br /><br />And the fire:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEUlZ3QTIVD-KQaX5xl1xglKwNpG14VguE_8NoFzAA_8_DiWLuQhkb_5nyK3vGh2EoRcrxPhs4KQUPKPC6BalH4Fbll78ME5bkq_K6qHrY2lyVMicJR0gvG_P1xnixChObYNaMkH9uPLk/s1600-h/October+08+2+023.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEUlZ3QTIVD-KQaX5xl1xglKwNpG14VguE_8NoFzAA_8_DiWLuQhkb_5nyK3vGh2EoRcrxPhs4KQUPKPC6BalH4Fbll78ME5bkq_K6qHrY2lyVMicJR0gvG_P1xnixChObYNaMkH9uPLk/s320/October+08+2+023.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264625648725092354" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi37C-NeBe4nq3VpetmlVLQQCDO3-f7uNLq2gY45HfDXA8qQ21xMrATQgqL6heLAHHlsCwmDplr1LdFd02_8Dhom3oTcyR2shEGlHSB_O8Ly-5kqDVWfkOv-KAOekGrvBK9L_wJEYPoSxw/s1600-h/October+08+040.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi37C-NeBe4nq3VpetmlVLQQCDO3-f7uNLq2gY45HfDXA8qQ21xMrATQgqL6heLAHHlsCwmDplr1LdFd02_8Dhom3oTcyR2shEGlHSB_O8Ly-5kqDVWfkOv-KAOekGrvBK9L_wJEYPoSxw/s320/October+08+040.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264621312714704562" /></a><br /><br />It was a great weekend!

This October I am puting together a team to participate in "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer." Part of making that team is to fundraise- so I am taking a chance, posting this post, and asking that anyone who desires make a donation. <br /><br />Here is the link to the team space.

The river rafting in Colorado is fantastic. I have never been down a more exciting run. On the left side of the boat going from front to back you have me (Sam), Jamie, and my sister Erin. On the Right you have Stranger #1, #2, and my mom. We really didn't get to talk to stranger #1 and 2 very much, so I can't remember their names. If you look at the pictures you will see what I mean. <br /><br />Here is a fun bit of trivia. Stranger #1 thought that it would be a good idea to bring along his smokes. Who wouldn't be relaxed slowly rafting down the river smoking your favorite brand. Well, as you will see from the pictures not such a good idea. Instead of smoking he was soaking. (I know that was a little lame, but I put it in anyway.)<br /><br />Here is your second bit of trivia. Like all good trivia, you don't have to read it because you will never need to know it, but it is worth the read. <br /><br />when I was in sixth grade my writing teacher gave us an assignment where over the course of 3 weeks we had to write down six memories. Every story had a different format and had to be from a different point of view. As a cover page we were to bring in a picture that represented our life and write a one sentence motto describing what we thought was the essence of our life. I looked in my moms Good House Keeping magazine for this assignment and I saw an add for a boat. The picture was of the back of a girl's head with really long hair. Her hair was soaked and she was ringing all the water out of it. Underneath the picture it said "Life; it is not about keeping your hair dry." From the eyes of a sixth grader, this was my life's motto. (even to this day it still kind of is) I did pretty good on the writing portion I think I got something like 88%, but on my cover page I only got 4 out of 10, that is only 40% yikes. I guess she didn't understand the meaning of my life, but I want you to look through these pictures and tell me if you don't start to understand where I was coming from. Life; it is not about keeping your hair dry.<br /><br />Here we just unloaded the raft and we just bearly got in the water. I don't think that anyone was really ready for it to be this intence this fast. We are coming to our first rapid and I just knew that we were going to get soaked. You will see in the picture that I am closing my mouth. Jamie and Erin saw the camara so they both put on their best smiles. :) This picture is called "And so it starts."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9f41uh3a8wE9h3pSccVjECZZHANytZBYwYeohY2q5QsMsHjebJbUXA5CwOyagujr71-qeKpXwoFP4eCUY0mE0v38U_Sn5_1Dnkvl3Fff5SFu9-JgmiCODQ99K96H5D7gtEFlzuyhoH8/s1600-h/Rick+102.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs9f41uh3a8wE9h3pSccVjECZZHANytZBYwYeohY2q5QsMsHjebJbUXA5CwOyagujr71-qeKpXwoFP4eCUY0mE0v38U_Sn5_1Dnkvl3Fff5SFu9-JgmiCODQ99K96H5D7gtEFlzuyhoH8/s400/Rick+102.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231113211075929858" /></a><br /><br />You can see in this next picture that everybody sort of stops paddling except for me. I don't know if I was too dumb to stop or not, but he told us to paddle forward and that he would tell us when to stop. It is hard to tell from the angle of the camara, but it was quite the drop. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUOxmGQqMsqRAfWOX1tSndcuKOOtI3bOB7kreCiRlNaKzFJEWn6zrbhIfr0r349ap6nWSCDTS9G7fN46F3x5LVQkOZFi_ryQMKAUpP6E8N6Wgk1o-ZzYsjMwmeB-xReADq8PNDJpIMIdo/s1600-h/Rick+103.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUOxmGQqMsqRAfWOX1tSndcuKOOtI3bOB7kreCiRlNaKzFJEWn6zrbhIfr0r349ap6nWSCDTS9G7fN46F3x5LVQkOZFi_ryQMKAUpP6E8N6Wgk1o-ZzYsjMwmeB-xReADq8PNDJpIMIdo/s400/Rick+103.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5231113221410582402" /></a><br /><br />Have you ever been totally enveloped by water and thought "hey, where am I" yep, that is what happened.

We are still getting soaked, and loving it! You will notice that my side is a little lower in the water. As you can see I am totally covered with water while stranger #1 is riding high and dry.

For those of you who live in Utah you know that this is a Utah holiday. One of our family motto's is "when you have a state holiday leave the state for that day." I have never understood this motto, but I think that is has something to do with getting away where people don't celebrate so you don't have to worry about the crowds. No one in Colorado celebrates this Utah holiday so we didn't have to worry about traffic or anything, it was amazing. This blog is going to talk about the biking portion of the trip because I don't have the river rafting pictures yet, but believe you me, they are something else.<br /><br />Not all of the Barker clan was up to biking, but the strong ones were Jamie, my mom, my brother, and me. Because we only had two bikes Nate and I drove Jamie and mom up to the top then drove down and waited. Waited is the appropriate word here, it took them forever. If you look at the top picture of Jamie and the following one of my mom I think that you can see why. They took their time lolly-gagging in the river :) I think that I have to note here that they also rode about twice the distance Nate and I did, so yea, they are pretty tough.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoxUgryWLKg69RkRmHSHHGMLRT6t6QU6DYYW-nRkK3WRRKdj9Fo9vSeJ0iUn_oZDBFCYLnUOe9VnY026CsoQSjJvFdW3Vr4jUzZhn7u6_e0Z4k0eooxUcOidQl1siU1IKsrwL0oUOGzk/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+006.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzoxUgryWLKg69RkRmHSHHGMLRT6t6QU6DYYW-nRkK3WRRKdj9Fo9vSeJ0iUn_oZDBFCYLnUOe9VnY026CsoQSjJvFdW3Vr4jUzZhn7u6_e0Z4k0eooxUcOidQl1siU1IKsrwL0oUOGzk/s400/Colorado+07-08+006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228661064939296306" /></a><br /><br />Because the trail was so long Nate and I didn't have the time to go back up to the top. This means that we only did a partial trip. (also we are not as strong as Jamie and mom :) As you can see, I caught my brother napping along the trail. He is the in shape speedy hair, while I am the slow and steady tortoise, but I didn't get to win this race. More on that after the picture.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkkxMwd4IP1UfUm740yOTd3S5FaEt2sj-56SlNW2pcXHuclPzglxI1QAiroQ7i69WU08zmnk4PnorD9cfHd_-iVvnPyFvRM61iXC_wTWOEXd6TMfngTTQ3u32dsgo6eMUWuuhqQTWCu8U/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+008.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkkxMwd4IP1UfUm740yOTd3S5FaEt2sj-56SlNW2pcXHuclPzglxI1QAiroQ7i69WU08zmnk4PnorD9cfHd_-iVvnPyFvRM61iXC_wTWOEXd6TMfngTTQ3u32dsgo6eMUWuuhqQTWCu8U/s400/Colorado+07-08+008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228661076980634882" /></a><br /><br />About half way down the trail my tire blew. Here is a picture of my stem that I found. Don't worry about me, because I have such strong expertise in physical matters I was able to gain control of my bike and come to a stop without causing an accident. (also, I am a little out of shape, so I couldn't get going fast enough to get into any trouble :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq8bBxojbMzgY9tBSBpbE5bRatYcOUlMZezdkE-TX_9KHLo1SzDgpyd5nhdWp0XSs1AFPRbl-9odINV4y1LQ_jLRsf6lc86pJuHhIgg3wS1c0T5jzMftczYgHqhGWXcaaJIO4anNGx2go/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+009.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq8bBxojbMzgY9tBSBpbE5bRatYcOUlMZezdkE-TX_9KHLo1SzDgpyd5nhdWp0XSs1AFPRbl-9odINV4y1LQ_jLRsf6lc86pJuHhIgg3wS1c0T5jzMftczYgHqhGWXcaaJIO4anNGx2go/s400/Colorado+07-08+009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228661045298290754" /></a><br /><br />Here is a picture of my tire (where the stem should be)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbZIz5xhKoMEeDLEZkQj5jUxuO_QbpRFUYmxkN0K2WiUkHyAiunYrNJ5GcbI-pf7567TMwPvd3DszooSMp-cbpzxOBvpuOYTw4tj731mYTuvDiCjIDQi7z-iDM5jSzQhUyJgr9OcSZxqQ/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+010.JPG"><img style="float:center; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbZIz5xhKoMEeDLEZkQj5jUxuO_QbpRFUYmxkN0K2WiUkHyAiunYrNJ5GcbI-pf7567TMwPvd3DszooSMp-cbpzxOBvpuOYTw4tj731mYTuvDiCjIDQi7z-iDM5jSzQhUyJgr9OcSZxqQ/s400/Colorado+07-08+010.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228661049034031762" /></a><br /><br />Luckily I was close to where I could get picked up so mom and Jamie came to my rescue. Well, we rushed back down to the bottom to pick up Nate, then we rode back to the part where my tire blew so I could finish the trek. I am not a quitter :) Jamie told me that I had better take a picture riding by myself so people would believe that I actually finished and didn't wuss out. So here is the picture<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRjz0yBmOKv83DCm4tm6Y9qLYvGMu4Tu2FEcKI8FYu9qdUIDgicRx9oz5RSHHp55NFVVxHAKUm51HO-Ga4jBAquCrtYruzhb19iKX6BITKvnjyVmtxhrR5lTkPK7hqJYdRLQ7CYLUOyg/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+021.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpRjz0yBmOKv83DCm4tm6Y9qLYvGMu4Tu2FEcKI8FYu9qdUIDgicRx9oz5RSHHp55NFVVxHAKUm51HO-Ga4jBAquCrtYruzhb19iKX6BITKvnjyVmtxhrR5lTkPK7hqJYdRLQ7CYLUOyg/s400/Colorado+07-08+021.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228665685235006402" /></a><br /><br />The river in the background is the same one that I will write about when I get our white water pictures, so get ready for an adventure!<br /><br />This picture is just a random picture that I took when I was by myself. This is one of my favorite parts on the bike ride. I couldn't resist, so I put it in.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUZgSRFIH3XG8AvpB84lm2psZXlzy9fD3KAmKQYXH1U9Z1tzwaoPWMkTdQXBNbMljOLjDBumNwvYnKf_7W39ya_QIPobwvm6AsPJdDcZLwpJ2AD-RwPAZaAu1CO9CNxjYVJdTdSFTimE/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZUZgSRFIH3XG8AvpB84lm2psZXlzy9fD3KAmKQYXH1U9Z1tzwaoPWMkTdQXBNbMljOLjDBumNwvYnKf_7W39ya_QIPobwvm6AsPJdDcZLwpJ2AD-RwPAZaAu1CO9CNxjYVJdTdSFTimE/s400/Colorado+07-08+016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228668495786915730" /></a><br /><br />Lastly, this is a picture of my nephew. (he is also the reason that not everyone came on the bike ride. Someone had to stay in the hotel and watch this cute little guy so he wouldn't get into trouble.) Here he is playing the "where is it?" game. You show him something (shown here we are showing him food) then you hide it behind one of your hands and ask him "where is the food?" He then puts his hands up and says "where is it?" then he chooses a hand and you give him the object (again here it was food.)I have to say that I have the cutest nephew in the whole world!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWK_D4Ao-5zeqB13qvvzw5T_vrp6JcyZhUEWG12oR8IioYHfgH3MGqlCP1PTkIs3kXQ7MHKUjqMN6rGUIYR3KWFNV9CnK-KUuq6-FYi8dXLJEpyZ7Wuu3uiG8Xsi45lF9tW1WOCmbYgvY/s1600-h/Colorado+07-08+031.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWK_D4Ao-5zeqB13qvvzw5T_vrp6JcyZhUEWG12oR8IioYHfgH3MGqlCP1PTkIs3kXQ7MHKUjqMN6rGUIYR3KWFNV9CnK-KUuq6-FYi8dXLJEpyZ7Wuu3uiG8Xsi45lF9tW1WOCmbYgvY/s400/Colorado+07-08+031.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228668910523194706" /></a>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14244419585004121393noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851631597046773268.post-83198299788251281532008-07-12T15:55:00.002-06:002008-07-12T16:08:10.870-06:00My Bike<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjKQHoOTVgXPlN4G5jV0NlKTFJTeQZyOA3XYNqdPAYBmq0wn8uoGqz7fjX5LCvu6VML31_4defzq6xqR72Zzoxa4_PYZzzYafpLytlsLpyRMu8u-6wOWdQDNotHQ6gu-ypM1u2KNI5Wc/s1600-h/My+Bike.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjKQHoOTVgXPlN4G5jV0NlKTFJTeQZyOA3XYNqdPAYBmq0wn8uoGqz7fjX5LCvu6VML31_4defzq6xqR72Zzoxa4_PYZzzYafpLytlsLpyRMu8u-6wOWdQDNotHQ6gu-ypM1u2KNI5Wc/s400/My+Bike.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222251306441807170" /></a><br /><br />Yes you read it right, I am giving free rides all month long on my bike. 7-10-08 is a historic day. That was when some over paid bank owner looses one of his greatest assets. He looses the right to stop by my house and take HIS bike out for a spin. I paid off what I owed on my bike and now I am a full owner. He now has to grovel at my feet if he wants to sport around town on the coolist bike in the world.<br /> <br />Anyway, this picture was taken when I was stopped at a stop light. The digital screen that reads 107.7 is my trip-ometer and not my speedometer. It is one of my favorite pictures of my bike.<br /> <br />So, don't be afraid to stop on in and ask for your free ride this month!Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14244419585004121393noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851631597046773268.post-32906416516655707072008-05-21T11:42:00.007-06:002008-05-21T13:59:59.867-06:00An Experience Never to be Equaled<div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGMPh5OGr_dpOdUNUjVwQhJKtfCMjp255IYOzNJrpI9kD4ngmbc4iOWSftptnFpGNzYSUWK5-ykQDLdA6_WGd796k36gAD519ErtaYMY6vD6uIhxfL9N24fht4LWK7fchtretFg9q9poci/s1600-h/IMG_1513.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202888547717163762" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 168px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 229px" height="289" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGMPh5OGr_dpOdUNUjVwQhJKtfCMjp255IYOzNJrpI9kD4ngmbc4iOWSftptnFpGNzYSUWK5-ykQDLdA6_WGd796k36gAD519ErtaYMY6vD6uIhxfL9N24fht4LWK7fchtretFg9q9poci/s320/IMG_1513.JPG" width="212" border="0" /></a> Yes, this is the monster drink of monsters. It makes ordinary cans of soda pop look like regular teaspoons. Normal cans contain your regular everyday allotment of stuff you should never intake. This can takes all of that unhealthy-ness and triples it. There is enough sugar in this to keep a young child awake for 72 hours straight, and enough energy supplements to power a small city for at least that. I am not going to lie to you, this drink is as untamed as any beast in the deepest, darkest jungles of the Nile. Trying to tame it is no easy accomplishment, but one I was able to manage. What you are about to witness is not for the faint of heart.

First off, I never actually guzzled this drink. I took the pictures of me drinking it while it was still closed, then I took the pictures of me opening it. It also took me three days to put it down. It tasted like pure gas-o-leen, and it was a bright, neon, radiation color green that seemed to glow a little when the lights were out. I think this is the stuff that the Ninja Turtles were swimming in when Master Splinter found them. I don't really remember getting any sort of cafeen high even though there is way to much of that in it too. My whole body, however, did go completly numb and now (one week later) I am starting to get feeling back in my right hand. If anyone ever wants to experience what it would be like to drink pure rocket fuel this is a great way to do it. Just don't light a match!</div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15494806321877138311noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4851631597046773268.post-12813702061386720392008-05-17T14:46:00.003-06:002008-05-17T14:59:51.144-06:00Cute PicsIt seems like we haven't been taking as many pictures as we used to.

I don't know about you, but I am a planner. I like to have my goals written out, and all the steps to complete those goals set up so I can accomplish things in a timely manner. Well...sometimes I guess my timely manner does not fit with the timeline the Lord has set up for me.<br /><br />Perhaps I am an idealist, but it seems that we have had a few big goals that seem to be taking at least twice as long as I think they should. House... chillin's... cars... education... trips abroad... so many things. Don't think I am complaining, just trying to evolve :) I am thinking if I can just survive the next few years- and become willing to make my timeline a bit more flexible- I will be able to successfully not drive Sam crazy.

We had a blast. We left here on Thursday and arrived in Bryce where Jamie's parents were kind enough to pay for our room and board. We got up Friday where we met with Jamie's grandparents and went 4-wheeling. I know what you are thinking, what about all the snow? Well, we went anyway and had way too much fun getting stuck and trying to get unstuck. Look how I am totally lifting the 4-wheeler!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoPEmKQpLFUogc_wm6AOcNXvUXqdVfFYS8caf1MjNC0le42Hg8xqgBv-NmZngIIIqg4x7OTz8QtHBSpoMtyw5KUGXN20FV2CLKmnZ4Yj7__TxpPkEnhvUL4ABKv2_sg2HCK2CJbzlkxQ/s1600-h/Easter+2008+006.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinoPEmKQpLFUogc_wm6AOcNXvUXqdVfFYS8caf1MjNC0le42Hg8xqgBv-NmZngIIIqg4x7OTz8QtHBSpoMtyw5KUGXN20FV2CLKmnZ4Yj7__TxpPkEnhvUL4ABKv2_sg2HCK2CJbzlkxQ/s400/Easter+2008+006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181468366060178402" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_V4ZlyaFWH_S73LmhrArqoGOz1aADHFH8leptQlnsESWkV0KNjJMm-2fPFgjI8hyphenhyphenfplCrJsqBZvbMDT2opO2OD_DegiU_KyI1ufoEaAbW5AheUqDNUUGXDIBWdRvLiANIPDOmD-G7-Q/s1600-h/Easter+2008+008.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_V4ZlyaFWH_S73LmhrArqoGOz1aADHFH8leptQlnsESWkV0KNjJMm-2fPFgjI8hyphenhyphenfplCrJsqBZvbMDT2opO2OD_DegiU_KyI1ufoEaAbW5AheUqDNUUGXDIBWdRvLiANIPDOmD-G7-Q/s400/Easter+2008+008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181477926657379314" /></a><br />Saturday we drove into Bryce Canyon where we did some biking and some hiking. WoW, you haven't experienced Bryce until you see it with the snow. There was so much mud on one of the hikes. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the people as they came up the trail, but I felt strange asking them to let me take their picture. So, here are some of the ones that I did take.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Vm0XGCRscaERsU50l2xn2vKSGJAVkJCAFPufhcf4JRUIjZljyA_1NUP-H1WNhS9oqD6lk1vAHRJPov3NEZBYySa-YF7Yl95B0A9IWHh_HhEQkq9rhBPRtEnC_K_6jIVunPkqBOiI0Bc/s1600-h/Easter+2008+(2)+012.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Vm0XGCRscaERsU50l2xn2vKSGJAVkJCAFPufhcf4JRUIjZljyA_1NUP-H1WNhS9oqD6lk1vAHRJPov3NEZBYySa-YF7Yl95B0A9IWHh_HhEQkq9rhBPRtEnC_K_6jIVunPkqBOiI0Bc/s400/Easter+2008+(2)+012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181465716065356690" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUYLyAWT7LEfNSBDyOO_ZisPpoLiAIT3Shl_l1myUdMU_A4Va8DDqzGIOpBLw9EUuUYIXKm157FKtd5XKXruuCMDOzIvgRD92ci-euCrPeoNDJVgs8z_ThdaAUxRcmCS8x-cXXJh5lYZA/s1600-h/Easter+2008+(2)+044.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUYLyAWT7LEfNSBDyOO_ZisPpoLiAIT3Shl_l1myUdMU_A4Va8DDqzGIOpBLw9EUuUYIXKm157FKtd5XKXruuCMDOzIvgRD92ci-euCrPeoNDJVgs8z_ThdaAUxRcmCS8x-cXXJh5lYZA/s400/Easter+2008+(2)+044.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181465728950258594" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPPA3qDkFHTdH8EQAP14JsGWjGVFEggGfS_Cc-fGp6CIasWhyMe9ySGVl1hpmZnIijLB0dFOn35wKm1OXJofja0gymHD4KR3JE9bdIXmUASGi2psrfAvEVlKrLMPr5va6lUiYq6AX7qw/s1600-h/Easter+2008+014.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPPA3qDkFHTdH8EQAP14JsGWjGVFEggGfS_Cc-fGp6CIasWhyMe9ySGVl1hpmZnIijLB0dFOn35wKm1OXJofja0gymHD4KR3JE9bdIXmUASGi2psrfAvEVlKrLMPr5va6lUiYq6AX7qw/s400/Easter+2008+014.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181465741835160498" /></a><br />Sunday we listened to Mo Tab as we got ready as there was no church around. Then we turned in our room keys and went to Red Canyon and rode the bikes up and down the arches trail. For lunch my mom and sister came up and gave us a nice Easter picnic. Then we rode down (not up) the trail one last time and departed for home. I didn't get any pictures of my family as I had put away my camera just before they got there, but the food was amazing, and the company even better.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzd2LmstHiufx_TrrjcKWDvQmrCc7ZerI9wSKANNwzafu08YA54_6WHPXE04lZrSqpfAyMl_Z6zoTj2Xhdj3an4kT2_PFlTBL58ZpmrfplG1TyjaEpcWiPharBukI07inXJJ9USHA1ins/s1600-h/Easter+2008+058.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzd2LmstHiufx_TrrjcKWDvQmrCc7ZerI9wSKANNwzafu08YA54_6WHPXE04lZrSqpfAyMl_Z6zoTj2Xhdj3an4kT2_PFlTBL58ZpmrfplG1TyjaEpcWiPharBukI07inXJJ9USHA1ins/s400/Easter+2008+058.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181465759015029714" /></a>Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14244419585004121393noreply@blogger.com4
