Aaron and I decided to go up over Monte Cristo because we wanted to drive through Ogden Canyon and see how high the river is.... Well for those of you who watch the news you are probably thinking that Monte Cristo is still closed due to snow pack. For those of you like Aaron and I who don't watch the news, Monte Cristo is closed and you can't get through. We found out the hard way (70 ish min detour). It also happens that the Wasatch Back, a Ragnar relay, was also going on this weekend. They run from Logan to Park City and part the route goes right through Huntsville all the way down Trappers Loop, which as it happens is the exact route that we needed to double back to get to Bear Lake through Evenston (40 ish min. delay).....
Four plus hours, a scared bunny, two saddle sore Langfords, and a dead cat later we finally reached our destination.
However the ride was absolutely beautiful, everything was so lush and green and all of the wild flowers were blooming. It was also fun to see how high the rivers and lakes were (there is NO beach at Bear Lake, none!). We also found the decorated vans and Ragnar runners to be highly entertaining. Among our favorite team names/ slogans were.....
Over the hills and through the woods
Bless our Soles
What the Hill?
We do it Three Times a Day Sweaty
We got the Runs
Girls gone Ragnar (Aaron thought this was hilarious, I thought it was lame)
The lake was FREEZING but we had a blast anyway, and it was fun to have the place to ourselves. We ate, snuggled, played games, watched movies, rode 4 wheelers, made sand castles and had a great time.

First of all, how the heck is Ryan old enough to be going on a mission already? Crazy! But awesome. Second, I miiiiiisss you guys (that was me whining)! We need to play. And third, dang Hal! You're looking skinny! You look smokin' in a swimsuit! (I can say this unabashedly b/c we're just that tight--heck, we've spooned the night away). ;)
