Summer Vacation
After enduring the end of Linzi's semester, studying for Step 1 (why don't they send me my score already?!) and the facial hair associated with that, we got to go out to Utah for a couple of weeks at the end of June. It was a wonderful vacation...a much needed break from school. Here are some of the highlights of the trip, in no particular order:
1. Spending the weekend up in Park City with the Karrens. The hotel was wonderful, as were the Alpine Slide, trolley ride up to Main Street, and the fun time trying to find a place to eat dinner on Friday night (the karren women are to say the least- picky!). I especially loved getting demolished at fusball at the hands of Linzi...she's ruthless.
2. Critics Corner: "Up"--Great show; "Despereaux"--Good show; "High School Musical 1"--not too bad; "HSM 2"--Really, really, and I mean really stupid; "Twilight"--not too bad; "Traitor"--good show; "Forever Strong"--Great show...you should see Linzi's Haka Dance
3. Fathers Day afternoon. We were enjoying a nice afternoon game of basketball outside when one of the balls bounced into the garage. While getting it, I did not notice the pile of tile sitting near the door and sliced the top of my foot on one of the pieces. It was a pretty good cut. I was mostly upset that we were going to have to pay a ton of money to get it stitched up at an ER or something, but Carol Seely came to the rescue. She had all the supplies needed to fix me up, so we went over there, interrupted their afternoon, and she sewed me up like it was nothing.
4. Many hours of Wii fun...MarioKart, WiiFit, MarioParty and Bowling.
5. Backpacking with Scott, his funny sayings, snowcones, smores and fishing competitions
6. Trip to the Zoo with Utley's, Kristin, Eli and Hatty, especially when Sophie told me that the animals wanted to get out of their cages because they wanted to kill us. She wasn't afraid, just said it like it was matter of fact.
7. Multiple trips to the swimming pool.
8. Pedicures for the ladies
9. Golf at Bountiful Ridge with the Boys
10. Learning those "fun" Turkish Getups while exercising at Jason and Michelle's. (and the delicious breakfast that followed)
11. Running into the Darley's at the zoo and Allen's in Farmington.
12. Multiple Keva's and Great Harvest slices of bread.
13. No Humidity!!!!
14. Getting to go to Sunday school together (and even just getting to go to that and Priesthood meeting).

I love the slide show! It looks like you had a lot of fun. We sure had a lot of fun seeing you both. It never seems long enough. We will just look forward to when we get to see you again. Love you!!!
Ooo Linz - I wanna see your Haka Dance! Could you post a video? I never did get to see the Berries and Cream dance either... :)
Sounds like you had a blast! Hope to get to catch up with you the next time you come into town!
Oh, that just made me miss you guys even more! What a great visit! We love you! (P.S. I can't wait to hear about the results...of whether or not Linzi will be cast in the next Harry Potter, that is!) ;)
I want to see a Berries and Cream dance too!!! Looks like a blast!!! I'm jealous that we didn't get lucky enough to run into you guys! Your backpacking trip looks awesome! I've always wanted to do one of those...think the twins would want to come on one? Think a prego lady should backpack? Provo falls looks amazing! I love that place! Jealous jealous. I wish we lived just 18 hours closer... I could do that.
