Max Zipline

Remember how I told you guys that August was a busy month.

 It was. 

It also included two, yes that's right TWO trips on Max Zipline!

It is seriously so much fun!!! 

It's this big zipline tour in Provo canyon. 

You go from one zipline to the next (5 total) so you get one thrill after another. It actually takes an hour to an hour and a half to do the whole zipline. 

We went with all of our friends when we were on our love trip. We had such a blast that two weeks later we went with all of my family. 

 It is so safe, they have a great, advanced, state of the art harnesses and breaking system, designed by the owner. 

Prices are $59.99 but they have deals going on all the time. "Like" their facebook page to get in on the deals or contests they offer.

It's totally safe for kids. 

My nieces and nephews went as tandem riders, the youngest being 2 1/2-years-old. (you can see it in the video above). Smaller or younger than that they won't allow.

Be sure to tip your guide at the end. They do such a great job!

I highly recommend Max Zipline. 

If you live in the area or traveling to Utah any time seriously check it out, it's an adventure you will never forget.

August, say what?

It has seriously been a month! I haven't even looked at my blog or any other blogs in weeks. It's been a busy one.

A lot has been happening. Mostly fun stuff.

Actually all fun stuff.

Except for that I stopped breast feeding Bridget yesterday. It's breaking my heart. And my boobs are incredibly sore. And full. And heavy. Strapped down by 3 sort of too small sports bras.

Moving on, here is a sampling of our month of August:

You forgive me?

The 4th Annual Love Trip

Let me explain.

Trevor has some of the best friends. They are his "college buddies." All were roommates of his in college, some from Freshman year, but a few originated in high school, middle school, and even elementary. One has been his best friend since birth (that happens sometimes when you are cousins).  

They were such a good group of guys. I knew the majority of them in college, I would see them around campus or at parties and they would be having so much fun. 

I wanted to be best friends with them. They were the guys that planned the best dates, participated in any activity and made it so fun. 

They were all really cute and funny. 

And they were good guys, they followed the honor code and curfew, they did their home teaching and attended devotional, they were the Elders quorum president kind of good guys. 

One by one they found their soulmate and got married. When I finally got an in with the group the majority of them were gone. I didn't mind, I always had my eye on Trevor. I remember telling one of the "buddies," Paul, that I thought Trevor should want to date me. I was fairly certain Trevor didn't even know who I was at the time. Lucky for me Paul agreed and planted a little bug in Trevor's ear. 

When Trevor and I got serious we started to hang out more with his buddies who were married. There are seven buddies, the last one just got married last month. Now of course we know the guys are buddies and like each other but the real miracle in it all is that the wives really like each other. In fact whenever we are together we separate like a 6th grade dance, girls on one side laughing and giggling, boys on the other flexing their muscles for each other. 

The term "Love Trip" started when one of the buddies, Rob, who is from England was hired over a Christmas break years ago to transfer all of Troy's (another buddy) family videos to DVD. (Rob couldn't go home for Christmas seeing as it was to England and a bit too expensive). For hours he watched Troy's families events. There was one tape that had footage from a trip taken by Troy's parents  and their friends when they were young couples. They were sitting on their husbands laps, or slapping their wives booty as she walked by, they were young couples who couldn't keep their hands off each other. Rob thought it was hilarious and coined it "The Love Trip." He showed Troy and they decided that when they were all married they would go on "Love Trips" together. 

So we have. 

This year was the 4th annual and the best one yet. We went to Heber, Utah. 

We rented a house for the weekend and played, ate, and talked non stop.

Here I'll introduce you to the group:

Troy & Jemaica

Tyler & Callie

Rob & Erin

Zach & Katie

Paul & Brenda

Trevor & April

Bryce & Bobbilee

Doug & Ashley

(We missed you guys)

Next Best Thing

We had planned to go camping with some of our friends this last weekend.

However there were some scheduling conflicts.

Not to mention the overnight low was predicted to be 34 degrees, we thought we should probably not knowingly inflict hypothermia on our child. 

So we did the next best thing and moved the party to our driveway. 

I lived with these girls in France. 

However we were missing the rest of our "France Friends" (you ladies know who you are, hope you are jealous and seriously consider moving back to Utah.)

You can't have a camp out without a piñata! 

And everybody knows the best piñatas are scary fairies.

Thanks Rem for being the rope holder.

And the best part? When it came time to go to sleep, we all slept in our own beds.
