Join me in following Alex's footsteps throughout August 5, 2009, as he demonstrates how to have one spectacular day!
First, get up early for a hike with your friends and family.
Ford a stream.
Recreate a scene from National Treasure 2.
Climb rocks.
Be awed by Alberta Falls.
Go all the way to the top!
Pose with your family to make your mom happy (and flash your best smile, which makes her extra happy!).
Next, venture out on a log into Bear Lake.
Then, ride horses with a real cowboy through an aspen tree forest.
Catch some air while learning to kick that horse into gear!
Pull around the lake, back to the ol' homestead.
Pose with the cowboy and all the guys to make your mom happy (again).
Get Pops to bait a hook for you at the trout farm.
Seconds later, catch a trout and pull it in!
Be proud of your fish.
Congratulate your fishing partner on a job well done (or at least very easily done!).
Get momentarily distracted chasing a yellow-bellied marmot. (It's at the base of the flagpole with the red banner.)
Watch with manly fascination as the trout you and your friends caught...
...get measured...
...and gutted.
Call over the dads to watch this with you.
Ignore the disgusted womenfolk nearby.
Read a few pages of your Harry Potter book on the way to your friends' cabin.
Play Ninja Arrow Crossing with your buddy.
Take a break from playing in the river to show off your catch again!
Try to be patient for dinner to be ready.
Sit down to savor the meal with Pops!
Dig in!
Decide and declare that your new favorite food is and forever will be fish!
Make up and play a goofy game that involves shooting pennies across the table and a lot of laughter.
Call over Pops to make the game even goofier and to throw in an end-of-the-day story.
Sleep tight with memories of the day's adventures.
COMING HOME - Arriving September 10th!
