Mexico

Mexico was a good time, Tracie and I took a trip down to celebrate our 5th anniversary. It was actually our first honeymoon if I was to be truthful. We went to the Yucatan peninsula and stayed at the Sandos Caracol Beach Resort and Spa about 5 miles from Playa del Carmen, it was on the beach, had a few pools to choose from, had all kinds of different restaurants, and they had different shows at night to watch if you wanted to. Tracie and I took some time to play on the beach and swim in the pool but not much because we wanted to get out and see some of the sights near by. We went to Playa del Carmen and walked the main street that had all of the shops, they are packed in there, it's funny they all pretty much have the same things and when you walk by they say, "come to my shop, I have everything, I give you good deal," or "come in my shop, just for the hell of it." Tracie thought it was pretty fun to try to get the people in the shops to try to get them to bring the price down, she was pretty good at it to. We took one afternoon to take a trip to Xcaret, it's kind of like a little amusement park, it has all kinds of different things to do, Tracie played with the big sea turtles, we watched a Mayan warrior dance, and went to the butterfly museum just to name a few of the things we did there. At night they have a show that starts with the Mayan people and works its way up through time until now, it was a great show, very glad we took the time to see that. We also took an afternoon to go to Tulum and see some of the ruins, they are amazing to see, Tracie and I decided not to take a taxi but to save some money and take the bus to Tulum, on the way down the bus had to many people on it so we had to stand in the aisle and hold on for dear life, the bus ride was about an hour, now I know what cattle must feel like. I wish we could of climbed them like I was able to 15 years ago when I was in high school. I wish we could of had more time to go to some of the other ruins but I guess we saved them for a trip in the future. We had to take a picture of the policeman and his big gun for Jason. The vacation was fun but boy is it good to be bad on US soil.

Blown Away

Saturday night was a wild night, at about 11 pm the wind started to blown and then I started to wonder if the windows in our house would come in, the house started to shake a little, it was a little scary, nothing like what the Myer's bunch went through during Katrina but it was still pretty wild for this neck of the woods. Dad called me Sunday and asked if I could help him move a pine tree that the wind blew over at Areva's house. It was a good little work out, we had lots of help, Alawna, Austin, Mason, Mason's friend Andrew, Mom, Dad, Bruce Weatherston, and me. Many hands make light work. Earlier in the day Mom and Dad spend some time racking their whole lawn because it was covered in dead branches from the trees around their house. Nothing like a like action in the good old town of Roosevelt.

Saturday Activity

Dad and I decided to go for a ride Saturday to see what we could get into. We loaded up our fishing poles and headed to the mountains. We thought we would go up by Pole Creek and see if we could find Larva lake, it is a nice little half mile hike off the rode, there wasn't much action on the lake (Dad caught one and I caught one) so we decide to go hike up the West fork of the White Rock River. We hiked up the trail for about 2 miles and then walked down to the river and fished it down to the truck, we caught lots of fish, it was a great time. After eating some lunch we got ready to head home and thats when the real fun hoped, the truck told me to check the tire pressure front driver side, sure enough it was going flat. Dad and I took turns getting the spare tire on and home we headed. In all we had a good time, it was good to get out of the heat and breathe some mountain air.

Rockin' To Poison

Happy 4th of July Y'all, Tracie and I went out to Salt Lake Last night (July 3rd) to go to the Poison Concert, it was awesome. It was fun to ROCK to that 80's music. I thought that I would post a few pictures. A lot of people think it is funny that I like Poison, the story behind me liking Poison is this, When I was around 8 or 9 I liked to sleep on Lynn's floor, he would play the song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" so now when I hear that song it brings back those memories of me sleeping on Lynn's floor.
