Baja

This past year Rob was on the Junior Baja Team. There are two teams(Junior & Senior) from USU and they build off road little cars to compete against others in the country.



Unfortunately,the junior team didn't get theirs done in time to go to Canada to compete. (Mostly because the Junior Team didn't come together and Rob and Steve got left to do a majority of the work.) They worked really hard to finish their car so it could be used for Engineering State. Rob got to be a presenter at Engineering State and tell all the little high school kids about the Baja. They also got drive it in the parking lot. I went up for one of the sessions and I got to drive it too. They are fun little vehicles. The blue one was the one that Rob 's team made. The yellow one was from a few years ago!

Summer has finally come...... sort of!

Although you might not be able to tell from this crazy June weather we have been having lately, Summer is here and it is wonderful! I don't care what the calendar says, or what the weather is like, I define Summer as the period of time I do not have to go to school (now work). I have really liked my job as a teacher but I have again been reminded of one of the greatest benefits to teaching - SUMMER BREAK! I haven't quite figured out what I will do the entire Summer, but one thing is for sure- I do not have to wake up to the sound of my cell phone alarm going off. Anyways, now that it is Summer it is the time to do fun things outside. One really fun thing Rob and I did was we went to the Hogle Zoo. Neither of us had been for a long time and we had a blast! My favorite animals were the elephants and giraffes and Rob likes the tigers and monkeys. (I wish I had pictures but I forgot my camera. Ever since we have been married I have been horrible at taking pictures!) We also have enjoyed having a campfire with awesome tinfoil dinners, a fun picnic at the park, and because of the rain playing guitar hero and watching movies! I am definitely looking forward to more Summer Fun!
