Here was our ingredients as follows:
2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream
4-5 Popsicles (whatever flavor you want your smoothie to be)
1/2 cup frozen red raspberries (you can put whatever frozen fruit you want)
2 1/2 cups citrus punch
Doesn't it look divine? Anyways, we both downed our smoothies and then got ready to go mountain biking. It is quite the process to get the bike rack onto the car and then tie down both bikes so nothing wiggles or bounces off. Once we knew everything was secure we headed for Maple Mountain. Thanks Angel for sharing the information. We rode on the trail for about 1 mile and then started heading up the hill. At this point, we started hearing gun shots. Oh crap! Who in the world is shooting guns and where are they?!?! I certainly do not want us to be in the line of their fire. Especially since I am going to assume they are VERY POOR MARKSMEN. I am glad that Brandon is as smart as I am and we decided to turn back and ride a different trail.
So, we loaded up the bikes again and got out the GPS. These things are really handy. We followed the map to Three Forks Trailhead up Spanish Fork Canyon. We had a hard ride all up hill to the hot pots but it was worth it. We got some great pictures and had a really fun time out on the dirt. Mountain biking is hard but we really enjoy it. I won't tell you all how many times I had to get off the bike and walk it up the hill. The worst part is when you have a lot of momentum and you are on your way to the top of the hill until you come across an enormous rock dead center in the trail. The funny thing is my front wheel is just drawn to these big rocks, but that tire can never make it over. That is when you either fall or just get off the bike and walk until it becomes flat again!

Those are way cute pictures in your slideshow...what a freaky story though- wouldn't that be illegal to shoot around there?/! scary. I'm glad it turned out to be a great day with no Angel repeat crashes :) Cute shoes too, btw.
Haha that's what those hot pots look like in the day. I've only been up there at night and without a flash light. I'm that smart... ;) I would love to hang out with ya'll and go biking! How fun!!!
I'm sorry that the trail I told you about turned out to be dangerous! haha. Actually, now that I think about it, I think there is a place at the bottom of the mountain by the highway where people shoot clay pigeons...which isn't actually around the trail, but who knows...I'm glad you turned back! :) That trail you rode on looks way fun! You'll have to explain to me how to get there!!
John LOVES to mountain bike but I've actually never been. Surprisingly there is good mountain biking in Minnesota, not because they have mountains. Just good trails I guess. I want to try it sometime. How are things going for you? I take my step 1 boards on Thursday and I am obviously procrastinating right now! John just started a blog for us and I'll try to post after these stupid boards are over! But I do start my rotations on Monday.

BTW, love the pictures.
Thanks for the compliment on the photos. John is really talented. He used to do photography when he was in high school, but now he has started to get into it again. I don't like my picture taken so it's weird cuz he wants to practice and I end up being that person. We probably just need to pop out a kid so he can practice - just kidding.
Anyway, hope things are going well for you! I better read about my cases tomorrow!
PS. ok these pics are amazing1 you and your hubby are inspiring. Im one of marjorie's really close friends and can I just say: we need to become friends!
