Happy Independence Day! My second favorite holiday! I can't believe July is already here, the year is flying by I tell ya. To celebrate the 4th we did what we do best, we went down the Provo River and had a blast! No mishaps at the bridge of death this time, thank the heavens. The weather was perfect, and the company even more so. Along with some of our fam, our friends Pete and Chrizelle went with us. Pete is our brother in law's brother, and his wife Chrizelle is my friend/co-worker from South Africa who recently created a blog about Africa titled: Africa is a Continent (and South Africa is a country), they are hilarious. Here is our jump in point up by Deer Creek Reservoir (which is full now, by the way, all the way up to the beach)! So if anyone wants to ride the Provo riv with us sometime this summer, let us know! We love love love it!

And last week we celebrated Chris's 26th birthday! Downhill slope to 30 here we come! Chris had been waiting for the iphone to come out with the 32gig for quite some time, and as they came out with it the week before his bday he got one as his present! And don't you think for a second that he doesn't have the light-saber app. And it is exactly what it sounds like...an application where you can swirl your phone around and have it sound and light up exactly like a light saber. Oh technology, you have gone too far.
Since Chris was so excited about his bday iphone, I decided to make a longitude/latitude scavenger hunt for his bday. He was able to do the hunt with his handy dandy iphone gps and even his fancy iphone compass. Destinations included: pizza & a park for a picnic, a hike, and the transformers movie (which really underwhelmed me by the by). The hike at Battle Creek Falls in Pleasant Grove was totally awesome! If anyone is interested in getting drenched by a waterfall on a hot summer day, I highly suggest it.
Chris in all his 26yr old glory
So there you have it! An amazing 4th and even funner birthday. Coming soon . . a camping rainout and our potential new diggs ~

Finally, if I didn't see you every day I'd probably think you were dead. Because we all know if you don't have a blog, you don't exist:-) Thanks for the blog ad! I'm not a loser anymore.

That scavenger hunt is such an awesome idea. Good job. Underwhelmed by Transformers? Shocking! :)
Happy Birthday Chris!
Nothing says maturity like the iphone. Now you're legit.
