Park City

Aaron had Friday off and so did I so we made a day out of it. We decided to go up to Park City. The weather was perfect, it was so nice. We had fun going down the Alpine Slides and then we walked around for a bit with the camera in one hand and our warm Starbucks in the other. Then we finished the day off with dinner at Wasatch Brewery. {mmmm so good} It was a nice chill day there were no hurries we took our time and it was a much need date. Just the two of us :)

Riding up the ski lift up to the Alpine Slides.

The view

We got a little into taking pictures lol

"model faces"

Main Street

Wasatch Brewery

So we ordered Calamari and it was the best Calamari we have had

When it came to this piece I could never of ate it, I didn't even want to touch it really.

It was the biggest piece of Calamari I have seen.

and of course Aaron ate every last bit of it

On the way home we stopped at Sundance and walked around

{I just love the sun glare off of our heads}

Animal Fun

I love going to the zoo. I love seeing all of the animals. Sometimes I feel like Aaron and I are kids still. We still love doing all kid things. :)

The Zoo was fun. It was HOT! The animals were fun to look at, some of them are kind of crazy like the monkeys

One of the first animals we saw was the elephants and there is a super cute new baby elephant named Zuri

Big Ole' Tortoise

Got to love Penguins

Taking a break from the heat and eating ice cream {so good}

We were so close to the Tigers it seemed like

They were huge

Secondhand Serenade

The concert was such a blast

We were super exhausted though from the race earlier that morning so we just hung out in the back sitting on a blanket.

When Secondhand Serenade came on though we went up and stood in the front

He was good but I must say I was a little disappointed I thought his last concert we went to was better.

All in all though it was fun just chilling and listening to the other bands play

We had a great time

Bryce Canyon 5K

We Did It

Aaron, Alyse and I ran our first 5K. Bryce Canyon was so pretty. The 24 hour road trip was short and sweet but it was way fun!

At the finish line the night before the race

Ryan came along as our support team

Thanks Ryan we couldn't of done it without you

This is the little devil that gave Alyse a little bit of trouble the night before the race

She got stung by a scorpion

He didn't live long after his attack

Morning of the race

We were ready

Look at that hottie!!!!

Right after the race

We were so sweaty

We all did awesome

Aaron was Mr. Runner he place 3rd in his age division with a time of 23:46

He came in 12th out of like 200

I was proud to claim him

Alyse did great she came in 6th in our age division with a time of 34:31

I wasn't to far behind place 11th with a time of 37:35

I did alot better that I expected to do but I would like to get that time down by at least 7 minutes for the next race.

Our metals we got for finishing

I am in love with a nut case

On the way home

Chilling in the back seat

This is Aaron receiving his metal for placing 3rd

Pittsburg Lake

Aaron and Ryan have been trying to get Carlee and I up to this lake for forever it seems like and we finally did it. There is nothing like an intense hike and that is exactly what this hike was. It kicked our butts.

I am pretty sure it was worth it.

Check out this view

I was very proud of the fish I caught. This is my first fish I have ever caught. I did all by myself too. Aaron had been trying to teach me his fishing ways and I was getting a little frustrated so I just went off a little ways and casted the fishing pole on my own and Ta Da I caught this little guy

All By Myself

All though for Aaron it was nothing he probably caught a good 12 fish

and I must say he looked good doing it!

This is the old abandoned cabin.

The view hiking up to the lake was so pretty. It was so peaceful and calm.

Weekend Fun

We have had a fun filled weekend. It was the first weekend where it was hot all weekend and boy was it hot! We loved it.

It was Lehi Round Up and me being born and raised loves it. On Saturday we went to the parade and watched Courtney, she is in color guard for Westlake High School. Lexi and Jared where also in the parade for their ward. It was so much fun to watch all of the floats and to watch all of the kids go crazy for candy.

Later that night we went to the Rodeo. I love Rodeos. They are a little to redneck for Aaron but he comes along anyway. :)

On Tuesday we decided to go on a little hike. When we left it was super hot but by the time we were in the canyon these lovely little gray clouds had moved in. It was nice though we had a nice breeze and it kept us cool. We listened to the thunder as we hiked to the waterfall.

This is the best picture we could get of all of us. Trust me we took alot :) It makes me laugh

The Gardens

Aaron and I love going to the Gardens. We go at least once a year. We always eat at the cafe which is so amazing. We LOVE their raspberry lemonade it is the best and their sweet potato fries just melt in your mouth {SO DELICIOUS}

The flowers are so beautiful. All of the different colored tulips are always so fun to look at. It is so relaxing to just walk around and look and enjoy the scenery.
