hikes, bears, bikes, parties, treats, chocolate, slurpees, oh CANADA!

I have been up in Canada with the family this past week and am sad to have to go back to salt lake to work.  The family all is just beggining to get here and I have to go home. :( its kinda sad!  But The time I have spent up here has been awesome!  I've hiked to the peak of VIMMY with my sister and Jessica and Amy!  That was a blast! We rode bikes the first 6km and then hiked up to what we thought we would never reach!  We saw three bears on the trail and some big tracks from a few.  We sang and yelled about the whole time to warn them we were coming.  We were on the top of a mountain that overlooked pretty much all of southern alberta and Glacier.  AMAZING!  it snowed on us on the top for a little bit.  Me and AMy also tried to do Akamina ridge earlier in the week but ended up getting to forum lake after hiking through snow and decided to stop cause there was too much snow on the ridge so we turned around and hiked down then back up to WALL lake!  Crazy.  I think I hiked about 45km in the two days we hiked!  ITs been awesome!  Chocolate, slurpees, and treats everyday!  Yeah I think I may have to go back on to a diet when i get back and loose about 5 but thats vacation for ya!  Anyways, more to come!  I"ll put photos up and more about the trip in a few days!

first week of camps and boise...

So I got back to utah on sunday night last week and started off the week really busy.  Monday morning I woke up and went to weights at 830 up in salt lake so I left around 745 to make sure to be on time.  Let me just tell you weights this week were hard!  MOnday, tuesday and thursday lifting made for some sore legs and arms!  After weights I went to a training session for the camp that would follow later on in the day.  This weeks camp we had little soccer players ranging from 6-13.  I got paired up to coach with LaLa and Morgan and we had a group of mainly 10 year olds.  Wow they were full of energy and putting on three hour training sessions when the jump on your back unexpectedly and kick balls  at you can be kind of long sometimes but it was fun.  We had some fun girls.  We got rained on a lot and had to be in a small space inside a few times but overall it was enjoyable especially when that check came at the end of the week!  I missed the last day of camp to travel to boise with the Starzz...A team i'm playing on this summer that is composed of players from a bunch of different college teams in utah...we have some byu kids, utah state, idaho state, uvu, utah, and maybe a few more.  Its been fun.  We tied our game 1-1 last night and have another game today.  Hopefully we can pull out a win!
