I got home last night after volunteering as a support person in an adventure race, it was 36 hours long and started at midnight on Friday. It was a beautiful place, throughout West Castle, I didn't realize how close we are to the mountains, I think my family would love to camp there. While I wasn't trekking, biking, kayaking or climbing like my team was, there was enough stress to completely wear me out. Erin and I were the support team, we had to set up and move camp 4 times, feed our team, disassemble and assemble bikes, drive for hours and get lost on dusty, bumpy, narrow, sometimes wet dirt roads, and it all happened at random times during the night or day. We did have a great experience when we were lost, it involved some prayer and some random people who knew the area really well, I was pretty grateful for that experience.
The drive home was especially difficult, I had the hardest time staying awake while driving. It was all worth it to see my family, they were so happy, I think Kali was the most excited to eat the rest of my treats.
We have lots of summer left, and enough to keep us busy. I hope to go visit some family and take Kali to Lagoon, in UT next week. We have a camping trip planned with my sister and her family in Waterton and we may go to Montana to visit with some friends for a few days. Kali and I are going to plan some fun things that we can to do together, if anyone has any ideas, comment, I'd love to hear it.
THese are some that were suggested to me, so I will share:
