Happy Anniversary!!

Well we officially reached 9 years!! I can't believe it!
Time seriously flys by, and especially when you
get to spend half of it riding bikes!!
We usually go stay overnight somewhere, but
due to a few complications we opted for a fun filled
day in the mountains!! Life doesn't get a whole lot
better than riding in Park City!
Okay the beachwould have won,
but that is next year for the big 10year mark!
We dropped the kiddos off at my sisters and
headed to Deer Valley. One of the complications
of the day was that i literally couldn't walk. I have
a bulged disc that acts up every now and then and
makes little things like sitting and walking very complicated.
SO sunday night i was laying flat on my back with
all kinds of frozen food on my back. I was in a lot of pain.
I had the sciatic pain shooting down my leg in full force.
Needless to say I was skeptical we would be going on this
biking vacation. But by morning I was limping which was
a good sign!! At least I could move!! and Biking only makes
your body feel better RIGHT!!

I had to get this shot to show that after 5 hours of biking
I was still going strong. I couldn't sit on the ski lift, or get off
for that matter, but I could RIDE!! My pain got better
as I rode, but the second I stopped and tried to walk,
BOOM!! LOTS OF PAIN!!
I had my Icy Hot, my Electrodes pumpin
and a bit of Ibuprofen in my blood!
I was set!!


Deer Valley has some spots you can ride with trick
tee-ter-todders (however you spell that) and fun
drops. I of course didn't participate on them today
but maybe next time!!
Some cool logs to ride over!!


Nothing keeps us back, especially a
itty bitty sign!!


Notice the gimp leg!! But it was GEORGEOUS!!


After we rode all day, my brother in law
brought up our kids to spend the rest of the day
with us. We planned on going on the Alpine slide
and the Alpine coaster. Ali is turning 6 tomorrow
so we decided to combine the fun to celebrate
our anniversary and her birthday!





Cam didn't need anything more than rocks
Which he thinks are all "BALLS"


Ali, Fro, and our brother in laws,
Mike and Al went on the Alpine Coaster-
which is AWESOME and so FAST!!
It is like a rollercoaster that gets up to 45 miles
an hour as you are FLYING around curves and bends!


When Ali went with Fro her hat blew off, and she
was crying so hard. She was so sad!! One of the
guys that worked there saw her sad little face
and said he would hike up and get it! It was
so nice of him. It made things all better!!
After playing in park city we had dinner, and took
Ali birthday shopping at the outlets. It was a very
full and fun day!!
I loved spending it with the people
I love!!
Happy 9 Years!!
