We're Raising a Racket!

Now, try not to be jealous, but Kristen and I spent last weekend in beautiful Cedar City. What does one do in the lovely City of Cedar you may ask? Well, we crossed an item off of our bucket lists, and played tennis in the Utah Summer Games! Because you know, there are no try outs. And, it was hysterical. Next year, Kristen is going to participate in the Women's Arm Wrestling competetion, as there was only one participant in her weight class this year, so she at least would have gotten a silver medal! Here is our list of highs and lows:

High: Cedar City is a great little town. They take these Summer Games seriously, and we loved being called athletes wherever we went. Also, they have a random lighthouse in their land-locked downtown, and this gal was camped outside the Army/Navy Supply store/hair salon every day. Please note the sleeve tatoo.


Low: Driving down in this bucket. I'm sorry to anyone who drives a PT Cruiser, but this car is ridiculous. A big boo goes out to Enterprise for having this as their only car in stock when I went to pick up my sweet ride. Not only did the tiny engine take 5 minutes to accelerate up to 60 mph, but it beeped every 2 minutes and 15 seconds to alert us that there was a problem with the airbag. Awesome.



High: Our matching outfits from Walmart! We realized once we got down there that we needed an intimidation factor, and what better way to do that than with matching outfits! Alright, we didn't wear the matching shorts, but it was funny in my head.


Low: The wind! It could not have been more windy. We have decided to blame our losses on the wind.

High: The Wendy Wood Memorial Rodeo! We both love us a good rodeo, and we got in free by wearing our dorky t-shirts! These pictures are supposed to be with us and the doggies (sp?), but you can't really see them. But believe me, they are tucked away in their little pen, resting after being hog tied by some real hot cowboys.


Low: Team Russell and Hensley. These ladies were our arch nemeses, and ended up beating us in our final match. They enter the games every year, and win every event they enter. Plus, they have hot husbands, flashy cars, and wore matching uni's, while we were in our matching outfits from Walmart. I have committed the next 365 days to training to beat Russell and Hensley in 2011.

High: Winning these!
