Vinto & Ice Skating

We had fun eating at a new restaurant called Vinto with Chelsea's family.  They have grilled pizza that was awesome!  The waiters took orders on little palm pilots and they were very quick.  I got a potato pizza with goat cheese to try something different and it was good.

We went to the Olympic Oval with Mike and Mari for some Ice Skating.  Chelsea and I had a blast with those guys.  Chelsea thought it was pretty cool because we saw Apollo Anton Ohno as he was leaving. Good times!

Our adventure

We went down to St. George on Valentines Weekend and saw my cousin Bryce speak in sacrament before he left on his mission.  It was good to see some of the family that was there as well.  So we had fun while we were there.  We drove down with Isaiah. Here are some pics.  First stop - Grafton.





We came across a ghost town called grafton on the way to Zions.  It was pretty interesting.  They are trying to restore it bit by bit.  Several movies have been filmed here.  We just had fun looking around. 







We have never been to zions before so this was fun to see the scenery.  The first hike was only fifteen minutes up.  The picture on the right is inside the weeping rock.  as you can see looking out it looks like it is raining from the water running off.  The picture on our left was our second hike to emerald pools under the waterfall.  As you can see in the picture below it got a little muddy!

Here is a picture of the small waterfall we went under.

Our hike was a couple of miles.  Here I am taking a break and enjoying the view.



JD and I showing our great strength!

Yay! We are on our way down!


I had to have Chelsea pose for a couple of pictures. Say Cheese!
We did it! We are the Champions!

We did pretty good. Only a little mud!

It's a tradition every time we go up in the mountains that I pull a crazy stunt!  Here I Go!  I can fly!

On our adventure we found some hot springs which were pretty cool.  You could throw a rock in and it would disappear.  They were so warm.  We are definitely coming back to jump in!
Here is the view from the hot springs in the middle of nowhere.

And that was our adventure!






Valentines



Chelsea and I celebrated valentines day on Thursday by going out to dinner at an indian restaurant.  We came back for dessert and had fondue chocolate strawberries, golden rasberries, and pineapple with some bubbly.  We watched survivor and relaxed.   It was a fun little date.
