Weekend Update

On Friday I went on a rockclimbing date. I have to give the boys props for excellent preparation. We hiked up Rock Canyon to a wall I've never climbed. There wasn't much room for belaying and cooking, but we managed to get a little BBQ going and climbed while the burgers and chicken cooked. We lost light fairly quickly, so we did a little climbing in the dark and then headed down the mountain. Shane had a portable ipod stereo with him which I carried like a ghettoblaster on my shoulder. We felt a little bit like Hansel from Zoolander and strutted to our personal soundtrack all the way down the trail.

Six-thirty is pretty early for a Saturday morning, but we got up and headed up to Salt Lake to work on the Temple Square gardens. This marks a year since I met Brian, Amy, and Megan. This is always such a fun activity. We worked until 11, ate lunch and headed back to Provo to hit the Lake.

Dave is teaching Amy to drive the boat.

The boys do what they call Chest Surfing (more recently renamed Man Surfing as an attempt manipulate the female pride to get the women to try it. I will not be manipulated.) Basically, it's just being dragged behind the boat on your life jacket. They dive under the water and boat takes off pulling them like a torpedo. Eventually, they surface and if they are going fast, the spray goes behind them enough for them to breath. Sounds fun, huh! I'll just take pictures, though.

After wakeboarding we took the party to Macaroni Grill and then finished off the evening with some Prison Break.

Today we gathered for Korean Night at Amy and Megan's house. We spent hours preparing Korean cuisine for 17 guests, and then we all sat down and ate bean sprout soup and lettuce wraps with sesame seed cookies and strawberries for dessert. All the while Amy and Megan taught us Korean etiquette like "never discuss smelly things at the table such as boils or diarrhea."

What a great weekend. Tomorrow should follow suit too with wakeboarding FHE followed by the 24 Season Finale!
