We Are Officially Bikers


Look how excited we are!
These are the mile markers





We decided that we needed to start getting in shape again, because we only have 3 weeks until we go' on our cruise, so...we bought bikes! We have had a lot of fun this last week just riding around the neighborhood. Today we decided to try Iron King Trail, it's just a couple of miles up the road, and it goes through the red rock and up into the hills, it's an 8 mile roundtrip ride, and we had a lot of fun. The girls really like riding in their trailer, and we stopped a lot to throw rocks off bridges, climb on the rocks, and look for mountain lions! Just as we were starting out, there was a sign saying that there had been a high number of spottings in the area, luckily we didn't see any, only antelope. Well, hopefully we keep up on the bike riding, and it doesn't become another one of our 3 week workouts, and then we don't use them again. There are a lot of trails right around where we live, so we're gonna keep trying them!

Slowly Catching Up






So, now I'm only two weeks behind in posting. We just got back from lake powell two days ago, we met Jared's family in Page, and we had lot's of fun. It was just a nice, relaxing trip and it was great to get away for a few days. We had some nasty storms that came through while we were out on the lake, which was a little scary, but we still had lot's of fun. Luckily, the girls have gotten used to the big storms, down here we get monsoon rains in July and August, so every afternoon we have big thunderstorms that roll through, they love to go outside and watch the lightning, thunder and rain coming down. They love the water as well, and they loved swimming, and making sand castles, and going out on the boat and riding the tube. We took the camera the first day, but that's when the big storm came, and we didn't get many pictures, then we forgot the camera when it was nice out. Oh well, at least we have good memories! We also just had family pictures taken, so I will post a few of those as well. Thank you again Grandma Davis for our fun trip!!
