St. George

We recently went to St. George, UT to visit Clint's parents!  

One thing we did while we were there was ride on their dune buggy.  It was a lot of fun!  Here are some pictures from a ride we went on in a canyon near Leeds:


It was really pretty!  We also took a drive one day through Snow canyon and did a little exploring:

Trying out the timer on the camera:


Clint was a little more adventurous than the rest of us...

We also did a lot that we don't have pictures of.  We got to go see Brian Regan at the Tuachan Theater.  For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a comedian.  Our FAVORITE comedian!  He is hilarious and his show did not disappoint!  We got to celebrate Mother's Day and Clint's birthday, go swimming, and mostly just enjoy not being at work!  It was nice to have a break and get to visit family :)

Warrior Dash

Last weekend we went to Kansas City with our friends Ryan, Tifany and their 3 kids.  Our main purpose for going was to do a race called the Warrior Dash.  They have these races all over the country.  It is a 5k...with obstacles!  To learn more about it you can go here.  To see what kind of obstacles we had to face go here, except that instead of the junkyard cars we crawled under barbed wire, and instead of the Storming Normandy we ran through a big pile of tires!  The last obstacle is crawling through a big mud pit, as pictured below:
Tifany and I ran first while the guys stayed with the kids and then we switched.  We are the ones with the awesome pink bandannas:

 Yay!  We survived!
 The medal we got was awesome!  It says "I survived.  Warrior Dash 2012"
 Here's Clint crawling through the mud:



 The race was a blast!  I would definitely recommend it!  As long as you don't mind getting a little dirty :)
 After we got all cleaned up we went to the Royals vs. Yankees game!
 We all got decked out in Royals getup to support the local team.
 This awesome hit got two people home!

 The stadium was really cool.
 They had these fountains that were really neat.  And once it got darker the fountains were all lit up.

 The Royals beat the Yankees 5 to 1!  It was a great game.

We saw some other sites on our trip, but Clint and I will be going back to them with my parents next month so I will post about them then :)

What a fun weekend!
