Tandem Bikes and Hot Pots

On Saturday, May 30th, we ended up not going up to Idaho as planned, but knowing us, that didn't keep us from having a full day. Besides going to our ward picnic, which was fun with the volleyball game and great food, we also did two really fun activities with our friends the Rouche's. Josiah was one of Nathan's mission companions, and he's been married to his wife, Meghan for just over a year. They are lots of fun, so yesterday we rented tandem bikes and rode up to Bridal Veil falls in the Provo Canyon. Unfortunately when we were almost there, the chain on their bike broke, so they had to coast most the way back down, while we quickly rode back to Outdoors Unlimited to return our bike, pick up our car, and meet them in our Santa Fe to bring them the rest of the way back.

Later that night we hiked up Spanish Fork canyon to these really neat hot pots. All of us though forgot a flashlight, so we had to hike the 2.2 miles back in the dark, and boy was it getting dark. We did get to see some neat stars. Lady came too and had some mad skills as she was running up and down the trail that bordered a river, and at times the drop off was pretty intense. Once she ran and leaped about 7' across a drop off part. It was insane, but I guess she knew what she was doing. When we got to the hot pots she even got in once, but enjoyed the cold waterfalls more. We all found out that hot water+slight sunburn from biking=sapped energy! Everyone was beat by the time we made it back to the car(but that took over an hour in the dark. We aren't sure how long, but it took an hour to hike there, so going slower back it must have taken longer:) )
