A Day of Fun in The Sun!

On the 18th of August, Shaun and I were able to spend the day with our friends Christie and Matt. It was a lot of fun! Our first stop was river rafting down the Provo River! It is always so fun! This was the third year that we have run the Provo River!

This year was slightly eventful. There is a point in the river that there are two bridges that they instructed you to get out of the river and walk around them. Well we get to this point and there were two other rafts getting out at the same time as us.  We didn't quite go into the shore the angle that we needed to and so we ended up heading towards the bridges. Luckily the people from the other rafts came to grab us and Shaun quickly jumped out. The only problem with this was that is the process of all of this happening Shaun lost his paddle. We were able to see that someone down river got it and so we knew it would make it back to were it needed to go. We were eventually able to catch up to the guy that picked it up and got it back so we could return it.

After our river rafting adventure we headed to Seven Peaks in Provo. I hadn't ever been before, but I do have to say it was A LOT of fun! I think it is WAY better than Seven Peaks in SLC (formerly know as Raging Waters). They have a lot more slide options and everything just seemed nicer!

All in all it was a great day!

Thanks Christie and Matt for sharing your pictures with us!

Paddling is hard work!

August

August began with us celebrating our third anniversary! Time has flown by so quickly, but I have enjoyed every moment of it. Shaun is that most amazing husband. He is so supportive of me and for the I am truly blessed. I am so glad that I was lead to him and that I get to spend the rest of my life with him. I love you babe!

Another big thing that happened that same week is I finished my first term of school!!  I had four classes (Swedish Massage, Anatomy and Physiology, Therapeutic Principles and Tai Chi) and I ended up with A's in all of them!!! I got my first college 4.0!! I was super stocked about it (and still am!). It just feel SO good to finally be doing something that I love! I always look forward to going to school, because I know it is going to be so much fun! This term I am taking five classes (Cranial, Swedish Lab I, Practice Building I/Ethic, Pathology I and Shiatsu/OM) and am really enjoying them! Hopefully I do as well this term as I did last semester.

Shaun and I went to Lagoon twice during August due to their bounce back program. The first time we went we spend all day ride all the fun rides. We did decide that we can't handle the spinny rides as well as we used to handle them. The second time we went we spent most of our time at Lagoon-A-Beach, which was actually a lot of fun! I haven't been to Lagoon-A-Beach is a long time, so it was fun.

On the train

We were able to go river rafting down the Provo River again this year. This time we went with our friends Christie and Matt. It was a lot of fun and a lot less eventful, which was nice! We also went later in the day so it was a lot cooler, this was also really nice! I definitely think river rafting is fun. It is makes we want to go to a bigger river sometime!

 

River Rafting down the Provo River

Shaun and I, along with four of our friends (Megan, Jason, Stacie, and Andy) went river rafting down the Provo River last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Something I would definitely do again.

We struggled a little bit in the beginning of our trip down the river, but once Shaun took over as captain we did a lot better. I was even able to help row.

We did have one scary moment. We were going to run into an island in the river and so in order to keep us for crashing into the island Andy jumped into the river, but it was a lot deeper than he original thought. We ended up running over Andy with the raft, but luckily he wasn't hurt and he was able to get back on the boat.

Farther down the river Jason starting a water fight with some boy scouts. We has stayed relatively dry up until that point. The boy (both in our raft and the boy scouts) seemed to have a lot of fun with it though, so that is all that matters right?

All in all the day was TONS of fun! I am SO glad we went. It makes me want to go raft something bigger!
