Kayaking the Provo

So Katie bought "tickets" for myself and her dad for us to float the Provo river for fathers day. We were finally able to use them this last weekend. The "tickets" counted toward either a large party raft or individual kayaks and we could either go guided or unguided. We opted for kayaks and to be guided, because we weren't familiar with the river, and guides can be cool and informative and give you the behind-the-scenes goodies. We had a blast even when the wind was strong enough to push us up river at times.




Above us Jarom, our guide, myself and Von, my father-in-law. Yeah I know I have a terrible farmers tan :-(

Running on Vacation

So this weekend, we have our annual family trip to Cedar City for the Shakespearean Festival.  Its going to be a whirlwind trip with 6 plays in 3 days, but that's what you do when your strapped for vacation time and you have a small kid (who we adore!)  Any way, I'm training for a running race in September, and I need to run while I'm down there.  I tried to map out a course in Google maps, and this is what I got.

And that's when I realized that I'll be running around about 1/4 of the city.  I know that its a small town, but it just seams so much bigger when your driving around it.  Especially when you head North along Main Street. so wish me luck.  Hopefully I don't die in the heat!
