Parkour!

Because of the Office, we decided we would try some Parkour while we were out on a trail by ourselves. As you can see, we are pretty good at it! Parkour is defined as a sport or activity in which the participant seeks to move quickly, fluidly and creativly through an area.

Enjoy!

Moab for UEA

I can't believe it has been a month and a half since I have posted. I guess life has just been busy!
I went to Moab the first week of October for UEA break. I went with my roommates who had never been before so naturally we spent a lot of time hiking in Arches.
Here's the traditional picture in front of the sign-luckily there were plenty of German's around to take our pictures! This one's in the Garden of Eden, taken by another German tourist! All of my practice in Jr. High, High School, and College finally paid off.

"When I say boost, boost!"
Taking a nice break, enjoying the view.


Practicing our jumping skills...PARKOUR!


One of my favorites, Sand Dune Arch.



And finally, even though I have hiked in Arches countless times I have never actually hiked Delicate Arch. I have hiked the lookout but never to the actual arch. It was beautiful up close, and I'm so glad I finally got to do it, (Even though I am pretty red-faced in the pictures!)


We also spent some time hiking to some petroglyphs and window shopping on main street. It was conference weekend so we took some drives down the river road and listened to conference. It was a great weekend and we couldn't have asked for better weather.
