Andrea and I did the zip line saturday at Spanish Fork Resevoir, which by the way is a beautiful place to go with your family for a day,beach on one side, fishing on the other, what could be better? Yep you guessed it. They had a zip line at the top which we watched a couple people go down and we were very curious and asked the cost thinking no way , it would cost too much, then it happened. The lady told us that they were having a special for the day for 5 dollars.

I have always wanted to do it and Andrea said she did too. So off we go to get our tickets and sign the waiver that they will not be reliabe if we basically crash,die, etc. The legal stuff. So after signing we were off to hike the trail. I felt like we were climbing Mt. Everest....Andrea said we can stop whenever you want, so (wheeze, wheeze, I kept getting closer to top) Andrea was doing great(maybe a little winded)but when we saw this big kid come up beside us half bent over from climbing and panting worse than me,We decided it was hard. There was no way I was going to walk back down now after getting to the top finally, The four young guys working the line got a good laugh on my part or should I say parts trying to put that harness on me, He said he would have to pull it up in certain parts that he didn't know if I would like and wanting the thing on good and tight and right I said honey you can touch whatever you want, He couldn't stop laughing at me, I didn't care at that point there was no way I was going to walk down that Mountain, then they asked Andrea who was busy putting on her harness if she was pregnant

cause you couldn't go down if you were, she said I should have seen my face waiting for her answer.lol, No she said and did a good job getting her own parts in that harness, then we were off. Andrea told me I had to go first so I wouldn't chicken out so I did,barely, by the way they said I was the oldest lady so far to ride that one and the oldest man was 65 I looked at them and asked how old do you think I am.....thinking I must look pretty bad after that climb, He said 55, I said no 51 he said your still the oldest woman. Gee thanks alot...Then up the platform and when your ready they said, they also reminded me where the brake was, I was thinking I didn't know you needed a brake, They said sit in a chair position and whenever your ready. Took me a couple minutes then screaming like a mad woman went zipping down the line with Andrea soon to follow. After the initial shock of doing it, I want to go again. It was very very fun.

Birthday fun

John and I went 4 wheeling in Provo canyon to Springville Canyon

saw a lot of beautiful views and wild flowers, It was a great birthday.

Had fun with Grandkids and Wendy. Tyler's friends were

happy to join in on the fun as well. They loved the chocolate

cake till they found out it was a zuchini chocolate cake when they

were on their second piece we told them then they decided since

it had a veg. in it they didn't like it as much. They had funny faces

after finding out but the cake was very yummy. Thanks Wendy..

Thanks to Andrea and Taya also for coming up and going swimming. We had a lot of fun at Kamas indoor pool especially when it is cool outside. It was warm inside and the water was warm as well. but We don't take pictures of us in bathing suits...That is a big No-No but wish we would of had one of Taya. She loved the pool and had lots of fun as well. Thanks Sean for the yummy

sugar cookies and icing........
