April Fun

With the little hints of the summer season here and there, it's probably time for us to get back into shape so that we can have those ideal swimsuit bodies that we've always dreamed of for water-skiing this year, yeah right! We had the perfect workout, the only problem is that we need to do it about 3 times a week! We went for a 17 mile bike ride around Jenny's Lake near Jackson Hole. Don't let me fool ya, most of the ride was downhill. But it was great scenery, and actually sometimes growing up in one of the most gorgeous places on earth can really be taken for granted. Even though there's still snow on the ground there, it was just great to be outside. We had such an awesome day that we're thinking we might want to do some mountain biking this summer. Despite any calories that may have been burned while exercising, we decided we earned a treat afterwards, so we stopped at Dairy Queen for a blizzard. Wade and Jake were excited to ride on this 3-wheeler bike. After the winter semester of school for Jake and tax season for me, we both agreed we were in need of a little vacation. A sunny day laying at the pool in Las Vegas sounded like the perfect ticket. So that's exactly what we did. We caught a couple of shows (free ones of course...we were on a tight budget), went to the M&M store because peanut butter M&M's are my favorite candy, and walked the old part of downtown Las Vegas for the first time (we had never seen Fremont Street before). Jake learned how to play Roulette on this trip and loved to watch the high rollers as we walked through the casinos. I could see him getting addicted to the game so I better keep my eye on him for now on.

One of our favorite things to do together is ride motorbikes. I love it! Normally it doesn't matter what trail we're on, just as long as I get to gear up too. Of course there's always a crash or two, but that's how ya learn I guess. It's one of those hobbies where we both are having a good time, and yet simultaneously we're able to spend some time together as well. Luckily we have some really good friends who share the same passion for motorbiking. They're both a little better than us, but they tolerate us none the less.

Wow, looking at those mountain pictures makes me incredibly homesick! I miss mountains! Hopefully we'll be making a trip up there soon.
I always took the beauty of the Tetons for granted, until I moved somewhere you can stand on a tuna can and see for days.... :)
Ah well, there's pros and cons for everywhere.
