Marathon Day 2011

Last week I had my first Saturday off in forever. Well, since my honeymoon. A whole three weeks! So we decided to make the absolute best of it. We slept in and then called the most riotous, adventurous, and exciting people we know to ask them to share it with us.
"Get up you lazys!" Ber and Peeps were in.

And that's how the marathon day was born.

Adventure one: Hiking Stuart Falls
We got on the Sundance lift (which still scares me a little bit, don't judge) and hiked in that way. Baby Breck has a  seat that is lazy-boy- recliner-esque that straps to JP's back, which allowed her to come along, and snooze mid hike.
Breck is more hardcore than me

Adventure two: Floatin' The Prov'

I could probs do a whole post about this event alone, but let's just say I was terrified. screaming. For some reason my $8 "pleasure craft" CRUISED way faster than anyone else's and I thought the mighty waters would take me away, never to be seen again. As I screamed back to my husband for help, I was not comforted, but met with belly laughs from the whole crew! I thought I was going to lose my life, buttheads. 
The only thing I did lose were my Ray Bans

(pause for remorse)

when I tipped completely and fell into the Titanic cold water. If you know me at all you know this is a great tragedy.

Adventure three: Thai Food 

it was tasty. 

Adventure four: Biking to get Summer Snow

On the ride there, this is when Brittany composed the Marathon day song. It goes something like
"We're having lots of fun
It's a MAR-A-THON
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah."

I can't even remember how Breck got there. Ah, yes. The baby trailer. I was like, "when did Breck learn to ride a bike?" silly me.

starting to get weary

Adventure five: Movie at the Lewis's

This is when I pooped out on Brittany. Too lazy to pose for a picture of even move my legs, I fell asleep probably 10 minutes in. 

babies need their sleep

Adventure six: Longboarding down the canyon

This never happened. Brittany suggested it at 1:00 a.m. With no more pride left in me, I begged for my sleep like a prisoner begs for food. On my hands and knees, near tears. 
I got the title of party pooper, but I didn't die cause I feel asleep on my longboard going 30 mph. I'll take not dying. 

I just don't have your stamina, Breck.

I wonder what's in store for Marathon Day 2012. Thanks for a great day friends.
