Stuart Falls

A few weeks ago, Melanie took us for a hike up to Stuart Falls.  I have to preface this with the fact that I hate to hike, but I was feeling this strong desire to get out there and get moving.  So I told Melanie that I would be down for a hike.  We planned it and I was good with it until the day before.  Haha!  I desperately wanted to cancel the hike and go see a movie instead.  

The hike was hard, I was so out of shape, I was praying for strength to finish and at one point I had asked Daniel to push me along the trail.  I was even contemplating the idea of quitting the hike, staying right where I was and calling for Search and Rescue to come and take me off the mountain.  But I'm so glad that I didn't.  I'm so glad that I finished the hike.  I felt great.  Also, what a perfect time to take a hike!  The mountains couldn't have been prettier!

Note:  I took the Holga out with us on the hike as well.  The above pictures were taken with my iPhone, but as soon as I get the Holga pics back, I will post them on the blog.

The 4th of July

Daniel got back from California, just in time to enjoy the Fourth of July festivities in Provo.  Good times were had!  Provo really knows how to celebrate the 4th!!

Dinner Pics

Daniel and I have been trying to eat at new places and when we eat somewhere we have been before, we've been trying to eat new things.  Although, sometimes you just need a little comfort food.  Anyways, we went to Sammy's off of Center Street in Provo and it was scrumptious!

We loved our meal and those batter-dipped french fries were super tasty!

Tonight we took a stroll down Center Street with Sione, Lorien and baby Inoke.  We stopped at a new place called Station 22, YUMMY!  Also, we really liked the look and feel of the Cafe...

It's always good to try something new!  Plus we got to fulfill our daily challenge over at Live My Life Project...walk, walk, walk!

Fun @ The Provo Beach Resort

Daniel and I went to the Provo Beach Resort last night with Peggy and her grand daughter Ashlyn.  We had so much fun.  This place is so fun; mini bowling, a carousel, skee ball, yummy ice cream, huge playground, ropes course, etc.  Peggy and Ashlyn were so fun to hang out with, we had such a great night, thanks for the company ladies!

Provo Farmer's Market

I love the weekends and I love Farmer's Markets. 

I finished my Microeconomics class on Friday and I have to say that one of the biggest impressions I walked away with was how important it is that we support our local businesses.  Places like the Provo Farmer's Market and our local restaurants!  Anyways, we had a good morning supporting our local businesses.  First stop, the Provo Farmer's Market:

Yum!  We got fresh Asiago Bread, Raspberries (from Bear Lake of course), zucchini, cantaloupe and a banana smoothie while we were there to share!

We also stopped by the Lobendahn's booth where Ari got a cute little Strawberry Shortcake bag and Daniel got a Tiki Pendant.  Although, he wasn't about to wear it...apparently only girls wear necklaces.  *rolling eyes*

It started to get pretty warm and the smoothie wasn't helping much, so we headed over to Nate's Diner in Provo.  Again, I must say...YUM!!!!  They make their french fries from scratch.  Also, I love that diner feel, reminds me of Jersey.

This kid has a permanent cowlick!  Do you see it?  :)
