How the West Was Fun!

We just back back from a FANTASTIC trip to Utah!!! It was so much fun to visit with our family and we were able to go on many adventures!

GLAUSER OLYMPICS

The 1st Annual Glauser Olympics was a very sophisticated and prestigious event. With competitions ranging from... the lighting of the eternal flame relay...

...hands-free donut speed scarfing (Jenni took 2nd place behind Nate!)...

... long distance paper aeronautics origami ...

... precision M&M tossing, delicate egg on spoon relay, ice cube melting, and gymnastics (twister). Tears were shed, heros were born, it was an extiting event for all. (except I can never eat a donut again!)

SEAVER FAMILY

The Seaver Household was busy with much excitement during our stay. Jami moved out of the basement and into an apartment! Mom, Jami and James all started back into school. James asked a cheerleader to his first high school dance (she said yes)! The Daniels took us to an awesome burger joint - with thick shakes and pastrami burgers (burger joints are hard to find in CT)!

Dad bought Mom a new dining table!

We went to Deer Creek for some hard core Wave Runnering (Berlyn and Braxtyn were speed demons!) When I was riding behind Jake on one of the Sea-Doos a fish jumped out of the water right in front of us and we smacked into it! Thud!

Kandy and James had a Birthday!

DIRT BIKING

Jake and I had a chance to take the dirt bikes to Tibblefork Reservoir. We rode up a trail and found the spot where he proposed to me! It was a great time - unlike the first time we took the dirt bikes out... The first dirk bike adventure we went on was at Five Mile Pass. We invited one of our old seminary students and his Dad (aka our Bishop) to come along (since they were in Utah). We were worried that the seminary student would get hurt, but within 15 min of being on the bike... his dad tried to go off a jump and crashed! Jake and I switched into super responsible adult mode and took care of him... long story short... the Bishop has stiches in his knee! oops!

MORE GLAUSER FUN

Hiking up Big Cottonwood Canyon - we saw 2 moose!

We went to the Salt Lake Temple - beautiful! After we got to spend some time with Grandma Glauser!


WAKE BORDING

Jake jumpin out of the wake!

Jake and Kyle catching some HUGE air (and yes, Kyle's standing up!)


Jake and I on the tube - so much fun!!!

My first time wake boarding! In and out of the wake like a pro (ok.. the getting out part's true, but not so much getting back in...)
