His first fish...EVER!

We are so excited to announce......

That Chris just caught his first fish! Ever!

After many fruitless attempts, Chris has finally succeeded.

Thinking maybe today will be the lucky day...

Reeling the big guy in!

So excited!!

June Birthday Date Extravaganza!

The first Saturday in June Chris and I went on a marathon date in Salt Lake. We knew that on my birthday we would be at Nationals in Iowa and for Chris' birthday he would be in Oregon for USA's and we wouldn't get to celebrate our birthdays together.

So celebrated together with a mega-date!

We started the day off at the Bountiful Temple

Then grabbed lunch at the Pie

Saw my favorite show Les Miserables at the Capitol Theater
(it was Chris' first time and it is his new favorite now)

Explored the Church History Museum

We both got pampered with a mani/pedi
(thanks to a groupon deal)

Enjoyed Indian food in Draper
(another Groupon deal)


And finally finished the night off with a relaxing stroll around the Draper temple

Rock Climbing and Snow Canyon

First time lead climbing on a very difficult climb

There he is WAY up on top

Repelling down

Reveling in his accomplishment
