Kiting

Thanks to my brothers, my husband is now OBSESSED with kite boarding. Its strange that all it took was a little push from my brothers to get him obsessed because every summer there are tons of people doing it in Deer Creek, and it hasn't interested him until now. I guess once you actually know cool people are doing it you have to do it too haha I was really surprised to not see any kite boarders this summer, but then again, the lake has been really really low so the usual spot they do it at is now a grassy field. But, after my brother Darin came to Rupert to visit and do some kiting and then left, there have been people out on the lake basically every day. And not just one or two... I'm talking at least 10 to 20 every. single. day. Gotta get it in before winter I guess.

One day, shortly after Darin left, I got back from school and work and Josh wasn't home. Earlier that day, he went to go look at a trailer for his business and it ended up being a way less quality trailer than was advertised. And he was a bit sad because he wanted to buy a new trailer. Now Josh has a little problem sometimes when things like that happen. He's all pumped up to buy something and then when it doesn't work out, he still feels like he needs to buy something. However, he calls me and we talk about how we don't have any money and we're poor and its actually a good thing that he didn't buy a new trailer and then he doesn't buy anything. On this particular day, he called to tell me about the trailer, then I didn't hear from him again all day. And when I got home and he still wasn't home, I was a little worried... then he got home and said, "I have something to tell you."

At this point, I was worried... He'd been looking at trucks on ksl, other trailers, and other expensive things and I was worried he'd bought something crazy expensive. He went on in and said this all in one big breath.. "I've been talking to Bryce and Darin all day about kites and well, I bought a trainer kite from this guy on ksl. It was a really good deal and it'll be so fun and they said to tell you if you were mad that I am just bonding with the brothers." I just laughed and was actually excited to try it out. So we did. And here is the proof.

Trying it out on land 

On the day we went, there were 20 other people out on the lake. It was so fun to watch them flip and go super high in the air. 

It was a little muddy...

And here is some funny videos of Bryce and Josh "jumping" haha it was hilarious!
