Wool/ Copper Anniversary part 1

Our original plans to go to Colorado got squashed and same for the sheep herder wagon (7 year gift is wool so...), thus a "stay-cation" of sorts happened instead. 

7 activities for 7 years. 

1) Temple

2) Geocaching

#1

 #2

 #3

 #4

3) Hiking

 This rock has... seen things...

 We don't approve of tree graffiti but this kinda worked out for us.

4) The Pumpkin Walk

The jr mints scene from Seinfeld. 

Animals around the world.

 French Revolution.

 Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?

 Garfield.

Shrek.

 Finding Nemo.

Side note: we went to Firehouse for dinner (of course).

 And then watched the RSL game.

Hardware Ranch

Finally went up to Hyrum to take a sleigh ride to see the elk with Tyler and Kris.
Only took me 18 years to make it up there... 

But first.. Waffles!

Hardware Ranch

 Bird chillin on this cow's back..

Our driver said there was 600 elk in this meadow.

 This bull and cow were having.. "words"...

And finally...

THE MONSTER.. 36 inches of pizza!

The pizza with Tyler's head for scale...

 Derek in a pizza coma..

Odds & Ends..

Because I rather use this outlet rather than scrap-booking...

My new favorite 5:30am torture obsession:

X-biking.

Harder than a spin class, thus the instructor says...

Cute Ragnar sneaking dropped food from the babies.

8/12 RSL vs Club Tijuana

Finally had our schedules meet up for a home game. 

It was a great game although the visiting team has EXTREMELY poor sportsmanship. 

We got down there earlier than we thought, but that's ok.

We got the best parking spot.

After dropping Derek off for his hiking trip I got stuck in the mud.  Dressed to go to the Logan temple afterwards, I had to take off my shoes and skirt to get my way out (I was out in the sticks no worries?).  Gathering sticks and rocks to put in the mud by the tires, I was able to get the Xterra un-stuck.

 Trip to a river to wash off the mud and all was well again.

Here is cute Ragnar again, already chasing squirrels. 

Rick's Springs in Logan Canyon.

Don't drink it.

Mud still on the Xterra after getting home.

Service project with the BXC team: Trail clean up!

Pudding and TMNT with Tyler and Kris

12.5 inches later...

Free dinner at Ruby River. 

Our faces after listening to some of the conversations around us- 
also Pirate faces.

Because everyone needs a photo like this

Labor Day at Lindquist Field to watch the Raptors play!
