Ninja Goat

Ok, so the past few weeks have been CRAZY and filled with fun and adventure.
FIRST: The Tour de Utah was this past week and we got to see a little bit of it. Forrest had fun soaking in all the cyclist-society stuff. It's like a different world when you go to these places. No one is afraid to walk around in spandex, and if your not apart of the cycling world...like me...you sometimes have no idea what people are talking about. Rock Racing was a really sweet team. I guess they have this bad boy/rebel image because they sponsor guys that have been caught for drugging and give them a second chance. They are all amazing riders.


SECOND: Another great day at the lake with Stew. Mark got to join us and it was so fun. He had the best crashes ever.



THIRD: The girls at work decided we needed a little break so we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had a blast. We were taking so many pictures that you would think we never see each other, when we actually see each other 40 hours a week!

FOURTH: I decided to drag Forrest along a "death march" as he calls it, up Mt. Timpanogos. It was beautiful and the weather couldn't have been better. We started up the Timpanooke side at 7am and reached the summit at noon. We took a long break at the top and saw the Ninja Goat of distraction. When you are at the elevation of 11,000 ft, your head starts doing funny thing. We turned a corner and saw this little white mountain goat baby. I stopped and tried to get my hubbys attention without scaring the little one. I wasn't sure if it was actually there or if my mind was playing tricks on me but Forrest saw it too. By the time we got the camera out, he had walked over the rim. We follow him and to our surprise, he is NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!!! Seriously, there was nothing but cliffs on the other side and he just disappeared ... LIKE A NINJA!!!! We got back to the parking lot around 4pm and needed to get home to eat some real food. I thought I was doing such a good job sunscreening my face and arms but forgot my legs and now I am suffering the consequences of 10 hours in the sun. OUCH!!! We also saw 3 moose...one of which was right on the trail and we kinda sneaked up on it by accident.
