Lotoja 2012

Lotoja is a cycling race from Logan, Utah to Jacksonhole, Wyoming.  This year we (George, Lexie, Brian, Jeff and I) decided to surprise George's brother Steve and be his support crew at the race along with Jen (Steve's wife) and their son Corban. 
 Starting line

 Getting all the stickers that we will need for the van.  Jeff was our official driver that weekend and he did an awesome job.
 We wore these angry birds hats so that when Steve was coming into the feed zones he could spot us easily. 
 Jen was showing us how to hand off the bag of food and drinks to Steve. 
 Jeff would go to the drop off zone where Steve would throw his empty bottles and if he had a flat Jeff would help him change his tires (luckily he never had to do that)



 Enjoying the scenery
 This was in Afton, Wyoming.  I knew that my dad and brothers would enjoy this picture

 After each feed zone Steve would put the new food and bottles on his bike and then throw the empty bag to   George or Brian

 A couple times during the race we would pass the cyclists.  The other times we had to take a route around the race route. Steve is in the blue helmet

 Finish line.. Steve finished in 9 hrs and 24 minutes.  His fastest time ever.  This was his fifth time doing Lotoja.  




 The Crew


 After the race we stayed in this KOA cabin by the Snake River.  It was really nice.  It had a loft with a twin and queen mat.  A room with a queen bed in it.  Another room that had a queen mat and a twin mat.  Then there was a couch, table and kitchen with a full bath. 
 We decided to head down by the river to chat, get some exercise and skip some rocks







Corban was such a trooper and did really well on the trip

 Surprised he could jump like that after biking for 9.5 hrs.  George isn't really in a lot of pictures because unfortunately it got super sick and basically laided down as much as he could, which really sucked cause he wasn't able to fully enjoy the trip with his brothers.

Fun at the Washington Rec Center

 Avery loved the Rec Center this time where before she was not a fan.  She went down the slides, swam with her head under water and went around the lazy river a couple times.  We were so happy that she enjoyed it. Tay on the other hand did not.  She hated it. 


 She got so mad when I put her down in the water so I could get a picture of her. 
 At the beginning Avery was too scared to go down the big slide, but in the end she conquered her fear and then kept asking to go down it. I think me and George both took her down it three times.



Mondays with Dad

 The kids love the Splash Pad







 You can tell it was Dad's choice of outfits today.
 Avery tried to help Tay with her sunglasses but I don't think she helped much
