Playing Catch-up...Again

We get behind on our blog so quickly! I still haven't loaded pictures from things that happened weeks ago! Well this will be a catch up post. I'm not going to worry about the dates just fun things that we did.

A couple of weeks ago we went hiking on Antelope Island. It is really cool out there. We saw herds of buffalo and antelope! They were so close to the car it was crazy. We did Frary's Peak. It is about 3.5 miles both ways. I figured since I can run 2 or 3 miles that walking/hiking would be no big deal. Then again we were walking up a mountain. We didn't bring enough water at all. It was a hot and sweaty day for the Smith's stuck on the mountain with no water. A nice fellow hiker filled us up. He was like "Oh yeah we won't even drink it" I was jealous of his apparently camel-like ability to horde water and not need it on hikes! The view was beautiful and almost made it worth the dehydration. Once we got off the mountain we drove straight to a gas station where we both got 2 or 3 drinks. We had planned on going to the jazz festival that night and opted for a take out and rented Hellboy. Which was not as bad as I thought it would be and even fun in parts.

Hot and tired from hiking

We were so close to the buffalo

We had a couple of really fun movie nights. Batman with Brad and Steph. Colt hadn't seen it yet. He was a big fan and I was glad to see it again before the new one came out. Ashley and Peter came over and we watched Heat (the boys loved it the girls well let's just say what I didn't sleep through bored me).

We finally reconnected with Liz and Robert who we haven't seen in months. They may be sick of us we have seen them 3 times in the last two weeks now. We had dinner at their place on a Friday night. Liz did a great job the food was super tasty. Then we introduced the boys to grilled chocolate sandwiches. Any of you who have not had the immense pleasure of trying them I pity you. They are exactly like grilled cheese except substitute the cheese for chocolate. We are also experimented and added peanut butter to a couple of them. YUMMY! Even Colt had to agree and recommended them to some other friends of ours recently. That Saturday we went to the drive in movies with Elisha and Jason. Liz and Robert and their kids came too. We saw Mama Mia and Kung-fu Panda. They were both fun. Colt and Robert hated Mama Mia! On the plus side Colt learned about "chacha" Apparently what you do is text chacha any question and you get a response in a few minutes. It is different than texting google. Chacha has real people who look up the answer online and text you back. Colt and Robert had a lot of fun coming up with questions to distract themselves from the movie.

At some point we saw Batman with Holly. It was AWESOME! We all really enjoyed it. Heath Ledger was great and Aaron Eckhart was amazing too.

Add a couple highly amusing Sunday night dinners with the Elton crew and you are all caught up!
