It's almost over!! :(

The last few days have flown by... probably because we have stayed really busy w/ two activities a day. One in the morning, and one in the afternoon (usually). I'm glad we scheduled things relatively early in the day because it forces us to get up and get moving. I know I'm going to be so messed up when I get back since we are 3 hours behind right now.

Funny story:
I thought I was originally going to catch a break w/ the time change because when we landed, we were only 2 hours behind. And then I knew the next day, we were springing forward an hour, so it would really only be like 1 hour's difference because everyone would be still be adjusting to the time change back home. Sort of. Anyway, we get up SUPER early on Sunday at like 6:25am because we were still on Eastern time. We knew the gym opened at 6, so we were going to kill some time before our 8:15 breakfast. Craig goes down first and then shortly comes back and says it's closed. My reasoning was, "Okay, they forgot to spring forward an hour and the gym isn't open yet because of that." So, we called the front desk and asked what time the gym opened. They said, "In 10 minutes at 6am." So Craig asked, "No, it's daylight savings - you forgot to push your clocks forward 1 hour." They retorted, "No." Craig was thinking they just didn't understand him, so he said it again, and they again said, "No." Finally we determined that they didn't participate in daylight savings. I had no idea that it was option.

Anyway, on Tuesday morning we went to a nearby canyons to do some zip lines. We had a really good time, but we didn't know that we'd have to be in shape in order to enjoy it. After the first trail, you had to hike UP to the next trail. This was at like 10:30am so it was starting to get steamy. Luckily we discovered that that was the worst of the hikes, so we just gritted our teeth and pushed forward. Some of the people in our group bailed out of the last 2 trails because they didn't want to hike anymore. Our theory: we paid for it so we ARE going to finish this activity. It was hot and some of those hikes were rough, but it was still fun.  Some highlights:

On this trail, I didn't have the braking thing down yet, and my knees rammed him in the back when he put on the brakes (which is what I should've done as well).  Woopsie.

On this one, we didn't make it all the way so we had to turn around and pull ourselves up.

Our second adventure for Tuesday was ATV riding on the beach. THAT was fun. I've never ridden(rode?) an ATV before and being able to take it through trails and finally out to the beach where we could ride them wide open was a blast. I have to say that I was so nervous when we were heading out to the beach though. I was trying to get used to the gears (it was a semi-automatic), and trying to keep it steady without flipping it (or me). And of course, mine breaks down about halfway to the beach, but the guide fixed it somehow after he rode it for a while. Whatever. It was still a lot of fun. I even caught some air on one of the hills.. it was a hill on the way back though because I was extremely conservative on the way out.

GO PACK!!

Craig had a John Wayne moment.

 

 
Ok, I'm going to add a separate blog for the rest of the week's activities later on, since this got kind of lengthy.  We still have the dinner cruise tonight and then that's it! :(  We leave tomorrow and won't get in until LATE tomorrow night.  We're off to spend the rest of the day at the marina and then the dinner cruise.  Hasta manana!
