Lagoon Day....



Yesterday we decided to pack up the kids and head up to Lagoon. By kids we mean Blake and Jenny Quackenbush, yeah we're family. It was frightmares, which if you're not familiar means that it's regular lagoon with a lot of Jr. High kids in Halloween costumes and no adult supervision. It all started out with Brian finding a parking spot he thought was "pretty close" and Jennifer and Jenny pointing out all the closer spots as we walked to the park. After that ordeal we hit the roller coasters, and hit them hard. None of us had been there in years, and there's lots of new stuff, mainly a new coaster named Wicked, it was sweet, you go straight up and then straight down, then corkscrew the rest of the way down. After a couple rides it became very apparent that Jennifer was not feeling too well, but being the awesome chick she is, we kept on going for several more rides. We didn't make it into any of the haunted houses because the lines of 12 year olds wrapped all around the park. Even without it still was a pretty sweet night!

Libraries are for nerds....




Well today I (Brian) got out of school and got an insane case of cabin fever. So, instead of heading to the library to study, I decided to head up the canyon and study up there. As it turns out even though it's 70 degrees at our house, it was only 40 degrees up where I went, but it was still a rad hike. The trees all are changing colors, and there's still not a whole lot of snow. It was a great time, and even though it took about an hour to hike up, I think I've found my new favorite corner of the world to study in. Here's some pictures of how little cottonwood canyon looks right now. Not a bad way to spend 5 hours if I do say so!
