More Fun in Utah

Have you ever done something completely stupid and had fun doing it? I have. All of the time. The other day I told Meghan I wanted to see her. So, we planned on going to a park or on a hike so Vivi could come. I should have thought through letting her pick the place. She has lived here her whole life! I am still acclimating to the elevation. She picked out what she said was an easy hike. Guys, on the first switchback I was PANTING. Was Vivi panting? Nope. Just me. She was bouncing around like this was the best thing that ever happened to her. Way to make a girl feel good, Viv. I could tell Meghan was slowing down for me, but I didn't even care. The entire hike was uphill. It was a beautiful hike though, and luckily it was all shaded. At the end of the hike there was Dog Lake. I didn't know why it was called that until we got there and about 15 dogs were all playing in the lake. Makes sense I guess. Then we got to make the glorious trek downhill. Now that I could handle. I could feel my muscles getting sore as we were hiking, but I was not prepared for how sore I was that night. I didn't think about it too much because I was just so excited that I got to spend some time with Meghan! 

The next morning I took Viv to our normal park, and she seemed satisfied even though it wasn't the hike to dog lake. Then, I swept and mopped and did some laundry. Soreness everywhere. Last night I drove to Provo and let all of the happy memories come back to me as I made it past the point of the mountain and drove toward the Y. As I drove up to the park I realized there was one key detail Becca left out when she invited me to this. It was all water stuff. So, we went down the giant blow-up slide and got soaked in ice cold water, laughing the entire time. We did jousting on that blow-up thing so no one gets hurt. We went in the bouncy castle. We got everything along the way sopping wet as we walked around in our drenched clothes. Finally, I got up the nerve to get in one of those bubble balls even with my aching muscles. Oh my so fun. But let me tell you: when I regained feeling after the adrenaline and the numbness from the cold water more muscles were sore. Worth it? Definitely!
