UTAH VISIT

A few weeks ago I got to go out and visit Taylor, Megan, and Brent.

It was a lot of fun to be with them - it is crazy how easily you can start cracking up (more like laughing hysterically) when your with your siblings :)

Spartan Race

Bob ran in the Spartan race last weekend - it was so fun to watch!!


Craziest run ever - Hands down. It consists of 4 miles of obstacles such as jumping over fire into a mud pit, carrying and throwing huge logs, climbing ropes, crawling under barb wire, etc.
Here are a few pictures from the day:

right after they finished - I think ben may be in shock :)

Inner Hippie

We went up to visit Josh and Bam in Ann Arbor for match day last week - it was so fun to see them and Bob's parents were there too!

This is the only picture we took of us. We were on a walk to see Josh open his letter - their girls are so cute!!

While we were in Ann Arbor we went to a special place for breakfast. The breakfast happens every Friday out of someone's HOUSE (in suburbia!)- supposedly they have about 200 people come each week. I had seen a magazine article about the place (Selma Cafe) a few weeks ago and was excited to check it out.

When we walked up to the driveway this is the first thing we saw: 

(oh yeah! inner hippie is coming out!) 

 

the box above was a"bread box". When we opened up the box it had a note in it that explained that if you sign up, every morning fresh bread will be waiting for you in the box . . .what?! so cool!

The food for the breakfast all comes from local farmers. They have a different chef come in each week that creates the menu - this week it was a chef from a restaurant there called Zingerman's Roadhouse.

Here is hot Bob with the menu of the day:

 All of the workers are volunteers and the donations they get from the breakfast go back to the local farms.We got a seat right in the kitchen where all the action was happening.

we both ordered the specials : 

bob got squash/potato pancakes and I got johnny cakes

When you leave it is the tradition to put your "name tag" on the wall.
