Long Overdue? Perhaps...

Yeah yeah yeah...so I've been slacking at the updates. My bad!

We've done a lot of fun things over the past month. We went to Flaming Gorge Dam with some of coworkers and floated the river with a vendor of 3form's. It was a lot of fun! I hadn't been camping yet this year, and it was nice to get out and finally do it. The area had been badly burned by a fire from a few years ago so it was a bit hard to find a good camping place, but we eventually found a perfect spot. We got our tent set up, and Jason said that the weather was supposed to be perfect so we didn't put our rain guard on the tent.

However, after we got dinner started (tin foil dinners, yeah!) we started hearing thunder from these itty bitty clouds. It made us a little nervous, so we decided to take the cautious measure of putting on the rain guard. Good thing we did! Just a few minutes after we had it set up, it started POURING! A huge cloud had come over the large cliff behind us and dumped on us. Yeah--that's rain and lots of it! It was raining so hard it finally leaked through the guard into our tent. However, we lucked out and it stopped just in time for sunset. Talk about a beautiful way to end the evening!
The rest of the trip, the weather was perfect. We were able to go down and look at the dam, but unfortunately we missed the tour by five minutes. I suppose there is always next time!Floating the river was a ton of fun, but since it was a VERY wet activity, I don't have any pictures from it. The people on the different floats had a competition to see how many people they could rip off the floats and into the water, and needless to say it got very very wet and was super fun. The water was freezing, but it felt good since it was so hot outside.

Another exciting thing that has happened since I last updated was Nikky and Lisa finally having their babies! Congrats to both of them! I can't wait to see them in real life.
