I Love July

Ryan and I decided to go mountain biking at Snowbasin for the 24th. We had never actually been biking at the resort before, we had always gone on some trails off old snowbasin road. But due to some bad experiences on that trail a few weeks ago, we decided to hit up the actual resort for some wicked riding!!! And for those of you who are dying to know what the bad experience was.... Ryan hit a ditch going downhill and went head first over his handle bars, of course the tough guy wasn't hurt, so we pressed on, then Ryan's bike decides to break, so he had to carry his bike on his back all the way back to the car, luckily we weren't too far. We took it to the closest bike shop, and they said it was because REI had assesmbled the bike wrong (or something like that) but they fixed it for free. SHAME ON REI!!!



This is me taking a breather after trying to keep up with Ryan... he's an animal!!



We came around the corner to our surprise the see a mama moose just eating in the trees, but due to having a crappy camera we could not get a good close up, but she was cute!



One of the luxuries of riding at the resort was a bike wash at the end, so Ryan hung up our bikes and gave them a good scrub down.

And for those of you didn't know, the 23rd of July was our 5 year anniversary. Like usual we did not get any pics, we forgot the camera. We went up to Snowbird for the day, hit the pool for some sun and later that night we went to dinner at Famous Daves BBQ, I had been craving some ribs and brisket. Then were gonna do some real celebrating in 2 weeks at the Blue Grass Festival at Grand Targhee!!!! I would love to give you a bunch of cheesy lines about how much I love my freakin' cute husband, but he would kill me so I won't. So HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE, I LOVE YOU!!!!!

As a side note, I saw this clip and it made me think of Maddy.

I wonder why?

Lake Blanche

Amy and I decided to do a little bit of exploring today, so we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon and hiked to Lake Blanche.
We should've planned the day a little better, though, because before we left, I did a 13 mile ride, and Amy did a 5 mile run. Needless to say, we were pretty gassed when we began the uphill slog.


We only stayed at the lake long enough for me to finish a Clif Bar, because Amy had to get to work.


Next time, we'll stay a little longer.
