For those of you who did not know, last Saturday was Eagle Day. Never heard of it? Shame. Well to be honest, neither did we. In fact, we found out about it on a bike ride home from my parents’ new house in Kaysville. Heading out toward Kaysville on Glover Lane in Farmington, we kept […]
Bree and I have been hammering out our summer plans for some time now. Where are we going? Well we aren’t entirely sure, though we do know that it will involve flying into Milan, Italy in mid April. We will be bicycle touring around Europe for 3 months (through mid July), coming home just in […]
To continue our monthly theme of new winter sports (i.e. snowshoeing, classic xc skiing, and downhill skiing), we decided to give xc skiing one more chance. This time, though, there was going to be none of this shuffling business. We had watched the skate skiers in envy as they flew by us when we went […]
New Years Eve is not the typical time that you would expect to find a random adventure. The past several years have lived up to this expectation. This year, however, we decided to try something a little bit different. Breeanne noticed on Deseret News’ web site that Powder Mountain was having a New Years Eve […]
We have received a lot of interest and even specific requests as to how to build our Willow Tree Creche. This post details the steps used to build it. The creche is designed so that it can be collapsed for storage. Since we don’t believe in massive storage rooms or keeping anything large, heavy or […]
Upon wearing ourselves out stand up paddleboarding, we headed back up to the upper Iao Valley. When we visited the Iao Needle earlier this week, we met a local who tipped up us off to some good swimming holes up the river. Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, we began scrambling up the […]
Happy birthday to me from Hawaii! It has kind of thrown off my groove to be both warm and sunburned on both Thanksgiving and my birthday. Sad life, I know. The first thing on the agenda was to try out stand up paddleboarding. For those of you who do not know (like me a week […]
Well Bree and I are off for another adventure. This time – Maui. This trip has been a little unusual in that we haven’t planned out every second. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what kind of conundrums we find can get ourself into. Several weeks ago we purchased backpacking packs […]
We spent the morning hiking a popular slot near Goblin Valley – Little Wild Horse Canyon. It is a great little canyon as long as you get there before the crowds (of which on a UEA weekend there are many). The approach into the canyon is relatively short – just over 1/2 of a mile. […]
The clock is ticking until winter hits, so we are taking advantage of every chance we have to get outside. Today we took a drive up the Mirror Lake Highway. It was great to get some fresh air and take some pictures of the fall foliage. The weather was a little cold, but it was […]
This weekend we performed the open water dive for our scuba certification. The dive was at Blue Lake, Utah – about 30 minutes south of Wendover. We did two dives – one on Friday afternoon and one early Saturday morning. We stayed overnight at the Wendover KOA in a tent. It was cheaper then a […]
This year was round 2 for Lotoja. That means we had a plan – and no surprises. Of course life doesn’t always work out as you plan. We began our ride at 5:50 AM. That means we had to wake up in the 4:00 hour – an hour that does not deserve to exist. It […]
