Sunrise Snowboarding Trip

So as i mentioned in our last post, we went Snowboarding this weekend us at Sunrise. You may be thinking "Where the hell is Sunrise?" and that's a fair questions. The answer is that Sunrise is just outside of Greer and Showlow Arizona. Our trip started on Thursday afternoon when we headed up to Payson to stay the night and have an amazing dinner with Lynn, DeAwna, Brennon, and Stevie. It was an amazing dinner followed by a night filled with rounds and rounds of the game 'boxers or briefs'. We were joined by Jeremy for the game portion.

The next morning we got up around 5:30 to head to the slopes. After driving for about 3 hours we pulled up to the mountain and got all ready for our day of fun on the hill. After a few runs on the bunny hill we stepped it up and went up the mountain to try something a little more challenging. After making a few long runs it was time for lunch. Nothing says "Snowboarding" like Mexican food, so we got some Mexican food and hot chocolate before heading up the mountain to make a few more runs. After snowboarding we headed to the Hon-duh resort and casino to hang out for the evening. After an "interesting" dinner at the casino we ended the night by watching the lamest Olympic sport ever, ice dancing. It's basically figure skating without any throws or jumps. The next morning we work up early and started making our way home for work that evening. Along the way were were able to grab some breakfast at a quaint roadside cafe and checked out an abandoned town in the middle of nowhere, somewhere between Showlow and Globe.

Reflecting back on the weekend, there wasn't anything i would really change. A great trip, with great people, and great weather. What more could you ask for. The pictures below are some of the pictures from our trip. If you would like to see more pictures, check out one of our facebook pages.

Welcome

Welcome everyone to this amazing new blog. It is bound to be the best blog on the internet. This blog has been set up to track the major and minor events on our lives. This blog should also aid in staying connected to friends and family who aren't in the same part of the state or even country as us. We welcome open sharing and communicating on this blog and hope to have many followers who we can follow as well.

We have experienced many fun events, trips, and outings in the past and hope to touch on a few of those while sharing our new adventures with you.


While we do try and go on as many trips and outings as possible some of the more fun and entertaining parts of our lives are the little day to day activities that we have the chance to experience. One such little event took place last night. Instead of a big valentines day we decided to have a low key day to just enjoy each others company. As we were both busy one actual Valentine’s Day with work and car detailing and important things like that, we decided to put it off until last night. We had an amazing dinner of stuffed artichokes, Italian green beans, and chicken marinara. Just when the dinner was over the fondue pot was broken out and chocolate was added. To Sierras surprise, fondue pots get really hot. Long story short, we got to make two batches because we decided against eating the first batch because we didn't think the taste of melted spatula complementary the chocolate very well. The second batch was much better accompanied by fruit. After that amazing meal we cuddled up in front of the warm glow of the television to watch the Olympics. The perfect way to end a long day if you ask me.

Another one of these new adventures that we are about to partake in is our trip to Sunrise to go snowboarding. We are planning on spending the weekend roaming around northeastern Arizona in search of the last bits of winter in Arizona. We'll keep you posted on how the weekend goes and all the details of our trip.


It is our hope that after a coupe of posts and getting a hang of things we will be able to make a post every coupe of days and one a week at least. If you have a request or a change you think would help this blog become more interactive please let us know. We want this blog to be a joy to read for everyone and appeal to all of our followers. Again, any comments or additions to our posts would be greatly appreciated. We look forward to sharing our lives with you in the days, weeks, months, and years to come.
