Thain wrote down some ideas for activitys he knows of here so that all can get an idea of what they might like to do while up for Utah, anything you want him to make reservations for he can or if you want any aditional information on anything please let us know so we can get that to you or just let us know wich ones you'd be interested in doing so that we can make them happen or if there's something else you'd like to do that might be available :). Ok here's the list.

25. from Jill.....spa going pedicures or facials or such...something I can do :)
That's what Thain could think of so far and all are very doable here but there are a few
like the extreme river rafting that require a few months notice ahead as you have to get some dumb permit so let us know asap who is interested in what numbers :). I will be doing very few of these but have done and enjoyed a lot of them before. Tubing down the river here is really fun and we have the tubes :). ....we also have the 4 runners and kayaks and things and a few mountain bikes, but all those might need a little checking and maintance so again any pre knowledge of what you want to do would be really great and helpfull. Hope everyone has a super duper Easter!
Love Thain and Jill

Sounds like a lot of fun Thain and Jill. I think we'll opt for the activities close to the house. Unless Nate wants to do the extreme rafting, but I don't think the kids or I will want to do that. Floating down the river like we did last year with you is on our top to do list again. The tram ride and hike down sound like fun too! We are planning on Lagoon for a day too. Thanks for all the ideas to get us excited. Love, Jen
P.S. How was Vegas?

Jen-
Sounds great all those are easy enough, thanks for the response :).
Vegas was fun, mellow, long drive though but we had a good time. It looks like Amber and Heath do want to go to Disneyland now so we will probably have to get together the Sunday after. Another long drive and I can't go on the rides but it should be a good trip glad they are hoping on board with it.

Great variety of wonderful ideas, Jill and Thain!!! Thanks!
Dad's list includes 1, 3, 4, maybe 7, 17, and 24!
Mom's list is 1, 2, 3 (hike, not bike down), 5 (boating only), maybe 8, 9 (for sure!), maybe 11, 17, 18, 21 (maybe - what happens at a car show?), maybe 22, 23, 24, 25 (you bet!)
When are you going to Disneyland? We are babysitting Chewy this week while John and Cris and family are there!
