Golden Gate + Baseball =

EXHAUSTION for poor Allstar. We rented bikes to bike across Golden Gate Bridge. Allstar did not take a very long nap to begin with, and was so tired for most of the ride. Then, once we got onto the bridge it was SO noisy from all the cars he got even more upset. Too bad. The ride had a couple little hills that surprised us, but it was a pretty good ride altogether. The bridge is very long and seemed to go on forever. All in all, it was a fun experience worth doing!

We stopped before entering the bridge for our tasty [and pricy] cheese & crackers w/grapes. YUM.

and to take the family picture

Allstar got so upset that we took him out of the bike trailer and I went totally illegal riding w/him like this. I was so scared on the hills, well and most of the time. Not from getting in trouble, but for the tiniest of rocks that could've caused a crash.

DONE. See, look at all those cars! So busy

After he fell asleep in our arms we softly laid him down like so, we should've done this the first time he fell asleep so he was more comfortable. Then, when we boarded the ferry they made us take him out, which meant waking him up yet again. Afterwards I wished we didn't tell them he was in there!

To end the day we were so excited to see this MLB game. Unfortunately, after getting there a couple minutes late, then figuring out what to do w/the stroller we forgot to think about, then waiting in the "Gilroy's famous garlic fries" line for 20 minutes, we saw like 2 innings before having to leave the game...the babe would just not be happy or sleep. The noise and the cold just was not in our favor. Darn, we were really looking forward to this. We had sweet tickets too. In all the crying and everything we didn't even get a very good pict of the whole field. Next time Allstar, there will be another and you will enjoy it!

He even wore his Allstar Baseball shirt!

Wet 'n Wild Adventure

So yesterday we played hookie from work and Attempted to hike Mount Timpanogas. We knew it was supposed to rain in the morning then clear up, so we went for it. We got about a mile in when it started to rain, which turned into frozen rain. Then about 2 miles it turned to snow, then a windy blizzard. We stopped to put our long sleeve shirts back on, looked out around us and saw a complete white out. We decided we weren't quite prepared to venture into more snow and cold, or to even wait it out, so we turned around. As we hiked back down, out of the windy snow, then rain, we hit beautiful clear sunshiny weather. Utah's mountains are Beautiful! Enjoy the awesome colors and scenery we got to enjoy for a couple hours. (left) The Bear's Berries. (right) This is our new Adventure buddy, the gorillapod, it'll come everywhere we go. It is so awesome and super easy to set up and twist or bend to hold our camera and take picts of us! We drove down a little, pulled off to a nice view, turned the music on, and relaxed while eating our lunches.Isn't Spencer such a stud, he did all this!! We worked together and got 10 quarts of peaches canned after our bike ride. Because we couldn't get to the top of the mountain we went on a 5 mile bike ride on the Draper Parkway trail. Spencer wanted a day off...I showed him my kind of a day off! Busy busy we got a lot accomplished, and enjoyed our time together. You are so wonderful sugar.

Bike Ride to Work

So today was the second time riding my bike to work. I was so tired after my hill this time, it killed me! My ride is really a pretty simple 8 miles with one long gradual hill. For any avid bikers it'd be easy, but I am just getting into biking, for fun really, and am not used to the leg workout! But that is mainly what I am doing it for, the workout...and to get some awesome fresh air in the morning and to be more eco friendly, I love it, enough to do it again. Here is a little pic I took w/my cell phone. You can't see how beet red my face is very well, but it is! Thanks Carla for the bike haha! (P.S. Thanks Emily for my cute haircut and color)
