Dean wanted to do a long bike ride for his birthday.
He rode past 5 temples.  Starting at the Oquirrh Mt, then Jordan River, Salt Lake, then Draper, and finally Timpanogos Temple.  60 miles total.

Then on to Grandma Ellis' for a birthday dinner.

Sand Hollow & St George Narrows hike

Things hadn't gone exactly as planned on this trip.  We had a blast, but had to make several alternate plans.  One of which was staying in St. George instead of on a houseboat.  We were beat when we got back from a full day at Powell. 
 We decided to go to Sand Hollow the next day, instead of driving back to Lake Powell.  We were the only ones skiing on the lake, there were other boats, but they were all fishing.  They water was so smooth!

 After a day full of awesome skiing, we decided we needed to go for a hike.
We hiked the narrows up above St. George.

 These guys were so fun!

 Dean had a gallbladder attack at about 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning.  He had gotten out of bed and was in the kitchen trying to find something for the pain,  he passed out and somehow hit his head and had a little cut and bump on his forehead, and a deep bruise on his bum from falling. I found him unconscious on the kitchen floor.  His pain finally went away and he was able to go to sleep after that.  The next morning, James tweaked his back while putting the plug in the boat, and while water skiing, Kirk pulled a muscle in his lung area.  I'm hanging out with some OLD people!

  I'll keep you updated on what, if anything, Dean is going to do about the gallbladder issue.
