Our Weekend

So the president of the KREW called me earlier this week to see if the we (we being the KREW) could get together on Monday (since we all had it off) to do something cool. But then Meghan invited us to go to her cabin in Heber for Veterans Day. And alas, the president could not go. Sorry Katie! I missed you every single minute. :(

Anyways, first off, when we got not 10 minutes past Payson, there was a road block due to a fatal accident (poor blokes.) We were told the wait would be something like an hour and a half. So we did this:

We are so grown up. :)

But then Meghan's dad called us telling us another way we could take so we did. Had to take a dirt road for forever, but it was fun! It was like an adventure... in the jungle. With, of course, dramatic lighting due to all the dust and lights from the other cars. Very spooky. Very cool.

So we went quading and canoing. To go canoing we had to strap the canoe on the top of the ranger and drove it the 20 plus minutes to black canyon lake. The lake is small, but big enough to go canoing. (Please don't tell me how to spell canoing. canooing? canoodling? ...I know I probably have it wrong and am too lazy, and my computer's running too slow today for me to look it up) We had a hard time getting it in the lake. Well no, we had a hard time getting it into the lake with us in it. As soon as we got in it it stuck in the mud. So after we got that tackled, it was a matter of keeping it upright. It's harder than it looks! But the three of us managed to go canoodling along. Not great mind you, If you had video-taped the whole escapade and put in on fast forward, I'm sure you would have seen something resembling a synchronized swim team (minus the synchronized and symmetric aspects) zig-zagging all across the lake to get to the other side. But we came, we canoed, and conquered that lake. And took some souvenirs from the opposite side:

One for each of us. :)

I'm so proud of my team. I'm a good Vice President. (I really don't do a single thing Vice-Presidentish) And not to mention Captain of the canoe. (We had absolutely no direction) And I'm a great paddler Meghan! I just had the defunctional paddle!

And then when we got back to the side of the lake where the ranger was, and after Gerrit and Meghan got out of the canoe Meghan thought it would be funny to push me into the water by myself when I was still standing. And I almost lost the paddle in the process! That would have been scary. Anyways, we had fun.

Um, Katie... there's something I need to tell you. You know, about our marriage and all... you see, there's someone else:

Then I got to visit my grandparents, who are awesome by the way. Made us take all the junk food in the world when we left. :)
