4th of July Weekend

Friday, July 2, 2010 we helped Allison and Steve sod their backyard but just like their backyard, the whole day was filled with bumps and hills that needed to be smoothed out. First hill that needed to be smoothed out was the one left by the forklift that sunk while dropping off the sod. Second bump that needed to be smoothed out was figuring out what we were going to do with all the rocks that had been tilled up and also the rock hard ground that couldn't be tilled up. Third was the fact that we had 2000 sq. feet of sod sitting outside in the blazing heat that we didn't know if we would be able to lay. Fourth was finding a company to deliver topsoil on extremely short notice. Fifth was figuring out how to spread all the topsoil and sixth waiting to see how Mike was going to run the Bobcat that was rented to help fix all of the problems we were having.
So what it boils down to is that we spent all day smoothing out hills, filling in holes, moving rocks, spreading topsoil and laying 2000 sq. feet of topsoil and then realizing that we didn't take one pictures of this very rocky day.

Saturday, July 3, 2010 we had a BBQ with Allison and Steve, watched the UFC fight, and relaxed from the previous day.

Sunday, July 4, 2010 we went to my Moms and had dinner then came back home to help my Dad load our 4-wheeler into his truck so we could go 4-wheeling the next day.

Monday, July 5, 2010 we got up at 5 am in order to be Allison house no later than 5:45 am and be in Provo no later than 6:45 am so we could be at the start line for the Freedom 5k we would be running. That's right our second 5K of the summer! Once again we all finished, Allison coming in first with a time of 36.23, Mike coming in second with a time of 39.19 and me coming in third with a time of 41.52. Although all of our times increased from our first race, I don't think they were bad considering the last leg of the race was all up hill. Although I finished with a slower time, I loved this race, I loved running with thousands of people, it kept me moving. (Click on the links below to see photos of Mike and I during the race.)

After the race we headed straight to my Dads house to go 4-wheeling. We ended up riding in Levan at a place called Chicken Creek which by the way was a beautiful ride. I love 4-Wheeling! We had a great time and will be heading Manti next week for another 4-wheeling weekend.
