Jason learning to paddle/Tour of Utah

I am really behind on my blogging so this is from August.  My friends Jason and Rhonda came up so Jason could learn how to paddle board, (I took Rhonda while we were in Hawaii and she told him how fun it was) so we borrowed so extra boards from our friends and our other friends Targee and Melissa came along with their two dogs.
We put Jason on the biggest board we had and I still think he could have used a bigger board, but it worked.  He was also embarrassed because he had to borrow my purple bandana so his bald head wouldn't burn.
It's like an advertisement for Doyle paddle boards.

Lookin' good Jas!

Targee chillin' with Brindley she really digs the paddle board

Jason picked up paddling really fast.  He did great

Look at the cute couple 

I think Jason was checking the prop?  Maybe he fell off I don't remember.

Steady there big guy

Look at the wild creature swimming in the water

That is Sage doesn't she look just like Grace (they are related)

I think he likes it!  So Jason and I have been friends since we were 5 years old!

I think Rhonda is laughing at him

It was such a beautiful day

Look at the Happy Williams Family

We decided to follow the North Fork inlet up as far as our boards could go.  The water was so clear  it was incredible.

It was a great day and Jason picked it up really fast.  He did great and I think he really enjoyed it.


The first stage of the tour of Utah was in Ogden so we decide to ride from our house to the top of the divide to watch the first loop my friend Karen who is the Director of the tour got us passes to go watch the finish.  Targee, Melissa, Eric, and I rode up and watch the first loop over the divide then we went out paddle boarding and then hurried down to ogden to catch the finish.  It was amazing!!
