Ride n’ Shoot

Does anything sound quite as fun as mountain-biking and shooting guns?!?! HAH! THIS WAS A RIOT!! Organized through Utah weekly race series, Anyone can do it–all ages– no intimidation! you can race in Beginner, Sport, or Expert! The next race (biathlon race) is July 14th! It will be a blast $22 dollars for first-timers—raffle afterwards (totally worth it!) AND you get to shoot guns! This is a great community event–and everyone is out there to have fun! (Brian hitting all 5 targets on his last lap)Big smiles for Brian Dobias as he finishes his second biathlon–first one though  in the expert category–this kid is soooo badass :) …. Thanks Doobs for getting me out there…

Missouri for a wedding!

I headed to Springfield, MO for my cousin Alison’s wedding. I was able to catch up with a side of the family that I haven’t seen in a long time. . . so good to see you all…. This was my dancing partner… who was self professed to have been “burnin’ up the dance floor” :

Virgin, Scipio Beaver. Hurricane

scenic southern utah. we headed down south the weekend before memorial day weekend and got to stay with TP in her parents’ beautiful house in hurricane, utah…. SO FUN. we rode with numbers on gooseberry mesa and then smaller numbers with equal amounts fun in guacamole basin….

these trails were super fun. challenging enough to have little spurts of high difficulty interdispersed  with fun mesa-slick-rock riding. the guys did ‘flying monkey’ and i tried my hand at the grafton downhill…. virgin, utah is a trip for biking… the guys had a good time checking out the red-bull venue as well… did a couple of hucks and unfortunately found a landing that broke tide’s collar bone in a few places…. bummer…. however as a whole– this was a great few days in scenic souther utah.

after hurricane, i headed to st. george to visit my old high school friend ali ! it was a treat:

so good to catch up with al…. it’s wonderful when there is no need for a catch up with really good friends. so good to see you, jer, and caleb….. hope to see you sooooon!

Early Mount Olympus

quick adventure hike up Mt Olympus…. rained, hailed, snowed, slid, streamed, muddied, adventured.

Last days of “Spring”

I did some fun spring skiing with Rich and his family up at Snowbird before I headed to Southern Utah and then Missouri. Annie, Tide, and I did a little Salt Lake Buzz gaming, and then I headed to another baseball game two nights later with the rest of Rich’s family:
Then I celebrated my Dad’s Birthday by playing a little golf and then cooking hot-dogs in the backyard!… and then let’s not forget about Annie and Rachael’s AWESTHHHHOME leisure day: (Our socks are pretty kickass)
