127 Hours...

I went and saw this movie on Saturday night! We had been waiting to see this movie for weeks and it was totally worth it! The movie is based on Aron Ralston's canyoneering accident in Canyonlands National Park in 2003 and is absolutely insane. The movie documents the morning his everyday biking and canyoneering trip turned into a 6 day ordeal where he ends up freeing his arm from a boulder by amputating it himself! Seriously this guy is incredible! 

Lessons learned....1. Always tell someone where you are going! 2. Probably don't go hiking and canyoning alone...and 3. Be prepared with plenty of water and equipment!  

An Untraditional Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was the off year for our big family dinner so my parents and I ran off to Arizona looking for warmer weather but we ended up freezing our butts off still. We left Tuesday and stayed in Cortez Colorado for a night so we could wake up and hike around Mesa Verde National Park and we ate at this fun Mexican restaurant called Pepperhead. After a few hours in Mesa Verde we headed to the four corners and then on to our condos in Arizona. We had a small but delicious and memorable Thanksgiving dinner!

Girls Day Out....

Disney on Ice at the Energy Solutions Arena! Every year my mom gets us tickets to see Disney on Ice and its so fun! Mayci dressed up as Belle and of course had to have a stitch snow cone and a twirly light up toy! We were so lucky this year and got great 2nd row seats with no one in front of us! Its so fun to see how much fun Mayci has watching the skaters...she doesnt take her eyes off them for the entire 2 hours!

Thanks mom for such good tickets and a fun day out!
