UPDATE!!!

Since Summer is over, Erin is back at work now. She still works at Wasatch Junior High in Heber. Days are getting longer and longer and she seems more tired as she progresses near her due date in December. Luke loves his new trampoline. Someone Erin carpools to work with was getting rid of their trampoline and offered it to us for FREE. Sweet. Funny thing is, we were considering getting one and he called just in time. He loves it, and we have not taken any pictures yet. I will have to post those later. I have just completed the Basic Police Bike School. We already utilize Bike Patrol at the Capitol. WE have used in on special events such as parades, or large crowd gatherings for the hill. Bike Patrol in very useful in College campuses and large crowds. We are taught slow riding to manuever through crowds without having to stop. And all the tactical applications too, but mostly tackling the slow riding skills. We did many long rides and I crashed a few times. In fact, we will be utilizing the Bike Squad for the Law Enforcement memorial coming up on Sept. 6th. See attached if you want to come to the hill to support our fallen officers. Just a heads up, we are expecting crowds in the thousands. Sorry, I have been busy this week with training and have neglected my blog.

Payson Lakes July 24th weekend

Luke dipping the frisbee in the water. Eric, Dave, and Emmy cooling off. Eric studies a butterfly. Dave and Eric set off to save some stranded kids who tipped their canoe over in the middle of the lake and can't get back into the canoe. Dave studies a Cheez it.
