What's Better Than Wake Surfing and Golf?

Mallory and I had a fun weekend. We finished the Spring Term at BYU, so we decided to go to Boise. We left on Thursday afternoon and picked up Holley in Salt Lake. She was doing some biz with CarMax. Anyway, we went to the Cafe Rio in Draper for lunch and as we were leaving Mallory says, "We need to pray before we get on the freeway so we don't get in an accident." I agree, but we can't pull over. The parking lot was super crowded and we were already in line to turn out of it. So, Mallory begins to pray as we wait in line. Soon there was an opening and I turned out into the left turn lane. However, I wasn't able to straigthen out completely. I was still kind of sideways. Then, the guy in front of us decides to back-up and let a vehicle from the other side of the street cross three lanes of traffic and turn the opposite direction. Well, needless to say, he backed right into us. He was in a lifted Chevy Silverado. His bumper slid under our side view mirror and actually lifted the car up a little bit. I started honking as soon as he started to back up, but the Corolla horn just squeaks a little. Oh, did I mention that Mallory was praying? Well, she decided to bust out a rare General Conference prayer... yeah... those ones that last 10 minutes, and she happened to still be praying when this occurred. I won't mention what she screamed in the middle of her prayer when she heard me honking, but it was pretty funny. Anyway, it looks like Mr. Silverado will be replacing our door.

When we got to Boise, we had a great time. I went golfing with Adam on Friday morning. We did 18 at Centennial Golf Course. Meanwhile, Mallory and Amy lied by the pool at the Rademacher's. Later that day, we went up to Lucky Peak and did some surfing on the X-15.



Hang Loose. About to throw in the rope to start shredding it. Notice the gnarly skull on my boardshorts.

Mallory can even rip it pretty well. I love my wife!

Little Gavin enjoyed his first day ever on the lake. He was really confused at first, but began to become familiarized with every aspect.

He was even my driver.

That evening we met up with Jimmi and Kaley Sparling. We went to the movie "Get Smart" with them. It was pretty funny. We enjoyed spending time with them.

Saturday was spent chilling with the grandparents and some more golfing. Adam, Dorn, and I went to Falcon Crest Golf Course that afternoon to do 18. However, on the 6th hole it started to get super windy and stormy. There was a lot of dust and then it started to rain. It got so windy and crummy that Dorn decided it wasn't worth it. However, Adam and I decided to stick it out. The rain only lasted two holes, and the wind was actually a lot of fun. There were times when the wind was on our backs and we would drive the ball close to, if not over 300 yards. We were usually left to a short chip after our drives. In all, it was probably one of the funnest times I've had golfing. It was challenging, but very exciting.

That evening we met up with my parents and saw "Iron Man." I would have to say that it is pretty much awesome and if you haven't seen it at least three times, then you are missing out.
