Dan and LJ's Day Off:
July 24 2012

Dan and I both had the day off work so we decided we were going to make it a great day. We started Monday night with a movie at Mike and Michelles. When we were leaving we climbed on Dan's truck and watched the fireworks. When we got home we decided to make a fort in the living room and tell scary stories. It was a great start! Tuesday we got to sleep in, then Dan made a great breakfast and then we headed out to kayak at Bear River. It was so much fun to just be outside together. We then decided that we wanted to take it down the Logan River, the one we had tubed down before but sadly it was too low. It's ok though because we had much more to do. We hurried and showered and then went to Willow Park where there were a bunch of booths. Afterward we all went and ate. We decided to watch a movie until the fireworks and then we sat really close to the fireworks, it would rattle our rib cages. It was a lot of fun. Needless to say it was a great day off. The rest of the week was also really good. Dan and I had our own little Olympics and on the headstand event Dan fell over and put a hole in our wall, it was actually really funny. We went to a local production of "Big River" and then Friday we went to St. George and were able to go to Aladdin at Tuacahn, so all in all it was a great week!

Subway Hike in Zions and a week in Lake Powell :)
June 29-July 6

A few years ago I did the Subway hike with some friends and it was so much fun. Brandon really wanted to go so we decided to just do it. We applied for a permit and was granted one for Friday June 29. It is such an amazing hike! We all headed down after work Thursday so we got there pretty late and we had to be up early to get started on the hike, it is 9 1/2 miles and has lots of obstacles, water, rappels and more. Kelsi's friend and me both split our pants while sliding down the small waterfalls so that was pretty funny. It took us a little over 8 hours but we eventually made it out and were already starting plans on our next hike. I don't have any pictures right now of Lake Powell but it was definitely a blast.
