Red Head Appreciation Day!

Yesterday was "Redhead Appreciation Day" at the South Jordan Marble Slab Creamery. They were introducing their new Red Velvet flavor, so all redheads were promised free ice cream for coming in. The Red Velvet flavor, only. We met Mary, Emily, Jamie, Camilla & Carly for a taste. A "taste" is about all they got! The "free" ice cream was one scoop in a small sample cup! It was really good, just not very much...especially for the Lundberg's that had to drive up from Mapleton & ended up getting lost on the way! It was fun to see everyone & laugh about the small portions. Polly, who threw a mini-fit about getting red ice cream when she wanted pink, got lucky when Bruce wanted her red ice cream & Mary bought her some strawberry. Thanks Mary! I think most of us ended up with a red stain on our shirts, too :)

Here is the only picture I got with the redheads & their ice cream :) Happy Redheaded Appreciation Day, yesterday - and Happy Birthday today, Camilla!

Real Salt Lake - Real Fun

FC Dallas vs. Real Salt Lake: Soccer fever.  Great way to spend a nice summer's eve.  Laura, Clark, and J.D. were the real Real fans, sporting team jerseys. 

Our section was picked for some free RSL stuff and the younger crowd scored with some soccer balls.  None looked better handling the ball than Nash.

As a anniversary gift to Nick and Adrienne, RSL decided that a home win would be a good thing.  The happy couple was most appreciative.

With RSL in control, Ryan took a moment to school Chance and Max on the finer points of small ball control.

Additional family fun occurred when Lorie and I (Katie was relaxing at Lake Powell with the sisters) visited with Sam at Jackson Hole.  She even humored us by following along for a hike to Phelps Lake.

Part of the family fun was watching, from a safe distance, three grizzly cubs frolicking a few miles below Jackson Lake Lodge.  Mom was busy scratching her back on a nearby power pole.  My camera lens wasn't up to the distance but you get the idea.

Finally, the view of Jenny Lake.

Logan Peak Trail Run

Shelly lunging across one of several run off crossings on the way up Dry Canyon. Although the race was cut short and didn't summit Mt. Logan because of too much snow we had a great time. I would rather have a fantastic year of skiing then not... thanks mother nature.

On the way up looking back down to the Cache Valley. Some guy in front, Dave "the Isom Boy" and Shelly acclimating on the way up.


The toughest part of the climb... Scott Datwyler shoveled the path the day before. It was very slick and hard to walk let alone run on. The descent was a little fast and more out of control.

The notorious Wild Willy coming down from the turn around point as we were still climbing.

From the Valley I call that snow field "Casper the Ghost"

A view looking across the top of the canyon to the north facing slope. During a normal snow year the race cuts across the face looking left to right. The race officials said it was too difficult to cross and cur the course short. I think they were right unless we had skis... and a lift.

From the turn around point looking back into Logan with the Wellsville Mtns. in the background. If you look close you can see Bob riding his 100 mile MS150 bike ride. He is the one in front of the pack in a white and black jersey.

The race was made to an up and back. This was at the turn around point looking north with the Tony Groove peaks in the background.

On the way down I couldn't stop Shelly.... on the other had (or feet) my legs were a bit slow(er).
But we finished the Logan Peak 28 mile - Ultra Marathon - cut short due to snow (only 11 miles)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in the family.... I think the standards were set a little high with JWE but I'll keep trying.

Dad sometimes found an edge when he didn't want to...


Where's the Sea & Ski spf 6 (do they still make spf 6?)

I love this picture of Grandpa and Alex. Even though it was in '06 I kind of think of it as "the last run" It's hard to take any ski runs without thinking of Dad.... Happy Father's Day Dad - I love you.

Photo shoot with Tom & Bob

 Here is the first photo before they realized they needed to start posing.  So glad they know how to make us laugh.

Lily 3rd Birthday Party

More Wedding...

It's almost been a week & I promised Grandma I would try to be faster putting up a post on Emmettville than with my own blog :) You can check mine for the full report probably sometime in August or September!

The happy couple!

Jamie trying to hear Molly & Austin's interview over all the loud music on the dance floor...

Polly & her new BFF :)

How come Amanda gets to be all pretty & vintage? (and how come sometimes my text gets underlined like this through no fault of my own?)

Erin & her matching iPod!

Cute girls doing sparklers!
