It’s been a busy week. We both put in long hours at work (we both love our jobs!), and were very busy with “after school” activities as well (among other things, Shane cooked and entered a fantastic pumpkin curry into his work’s pumpkin cooking contest and tragically took second place, to another pumpkin curry. Of all the days!). So that is my excuse for not blogging until now. Blame it on the pumpkin curry and the depression that followed our loss.
We went mountain biking on Antelope Island last weekend with Brynne, Sam and Laura Veldkamp. She is currently living in Laramie, so it’s not that bad of a drive to visit SLC on weekends. It was a pretty fun day, considering the fact that we only had 4 bikes between the 5 of us, so all the girls rotated using a bike we borrowed from Sydney, Brynne’s niece. Who is four. And who’s bike is built for a four year old. With a basket. And decorative wheel beads. Needless to say, we were all very much wishing we had just chipped in and paid the $50 to rent a real bike at the store.
Antelope Island sits in the middle of the Salt Lake and is home to a ton of buffalo, steep hills, and deep sand. My first mountain biking experience was interesting and very bumpy. Maybe that had to do with the fact that the micro bike didn’t have any shocks and its seat was the size of a dollar bill. All three of us California girls were very out of our element surrounded by the prairie and buffalo, but we all love it out here! Who would have thought?
Here’s Brynne and Laura… It was Brynne’s turn for the micro bike. Bless her heart. Click on the photos for a ton more.
