Fall Fun

Before any more time goes on I must blog about Sept/October.

We went to the Shakespeare Festival which was so fun. Saw two plays and a musical in one and a half days. They were all so amazing.  First, was Les Miserables. Last time I saw the musical was in NYC and I have always loved the music so seeing it made me all that more excited for the movie in Dec. And now i'm listening to the music non stop... thanks Pandora! And Pioneer Theatre Company is doing it in May and since we have season tickets we'll be going and we're so excited!

Second show we saw was Stones in my Pocket and lastly Hamlet.  The Hamlet was amazing as well. It was set in modern times and you could totally understand it better.  So much fun! We are theater nerds for sure!

Then in October we headed to Cali to spend some time with the Johnson clan.

Disneyland, football (UTAH v. UCLA game), tide pool hunting and a fire on the beach. 

                        

 

We had a great time... minus the food poisoning... Disneyland burrito did it to three of us.

That part was no bueno and Disneyland is still investigating the food poisoning situation.       

Cabin Trip August 2012

It was a small crew this year that headed up to the Parker cabin in Star Valley, WY.

But it sure was fun playing games and doing some boating.

Between Steph's iPad and my iPhone we sure know how to document trips.

Our trip on video ... edited and filmed by me ...

Our trip through pics...

 First time ever. Playing Acquire on the boat.

Until Next Year...

Our Jump

Abe and I skydived the first weekend in June for his 30th Birthday.  

It was our first time. 

We loved it!

Earlier this year we saw a living social deal and thought it would be a fun way to celebrate him turning the big 3-0!  So we bought it and asked some friends if they wanted in and we headed to Moab.
Skydiving has always been something i've wanted to do so I was super excited. (the guy I jumped with says that most of the time the woman is the one who calls and registers a couples skydive... see men we are adventurous!)

The scariest part was the plane ride up. Okay and signing some waiver saying you won't sue them if you die.  That was a little intense.

But we climbed 20 minutes in the plane till we reached the desired jumping elevation. Then it was time to jump. On our way up we saw the Canyonlands and it sure was beautiful.

Abe skydived with a guy from Croatia and he has jumped over a thousand times. 

Abe jumped first then me.
When he jumped I just thought oh man I hope I see you at the bottom.
That was a surreal feeling when Abe left me alone in the plane!

 As for me, the person I skydived with went to Brighton High School and it was his 900th jump... my very jump!  We did a flip right out of the plane. I think I screamed the whole free fall down... which really isn't as long as you would hope it to be.

Just one more thing to check off our bucketlist
