Here's a list of fun, random stuff to do during the summer in Utah (some things I have done already; some I have not done yet, but I am planning on doing them):
1. Go paddle surfing on the Great Salt Lake (for more information, call Utah Paddle Surfing at 435-232-1816 or email at utahpaddlesurfing@gmail.com).
2. Go kayaking from Antelope Island to Egg Island (a round trip of 5 miles) on the Great Salt Lake.
3. Go rollerblading around Liberty Park in downtown Salt Lake City.
4. Run the Wasatch Woman Love Your Body 5K or 10K on August 22, 2009 (go to active.com for more details).
5. Run in the Run/Walk through the Lavender 5K at the Young Living Lavender Farms Lavendar Days on July 11 (for more information, visit Young Living's company website).
6. Camp overnight by Bear Lake and run in the Raspberry Days 5K on August 1 (for more information go to runnercard.com). Then spend some time on the lake (with a jet ski, kayak, paddleboat, something), and enjoy a fresh raspberry shake.
7. Run in the Payson Onion Days 10K on September 7- maybe wearing an onion costume (if I can find one and run comfortably in it- for more information, go to runnercard.com).
8. Go tour the Krishna Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. (For more information, go to http://www.utahkrishnas.com/main/page.asp?id=46).
9. Go to the Cash and Carry sale this Saturday, June 27, at 500 South 900 West from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. There will be 20 local boutiques selling at this event.
10. Go to the farmer's market on Saturday morning and make a meal out of what I buy there (open from 8 a.m. - 1 p.m.); the market is located in Pioneer Park (by The Gateway).
11. Go to the Obon Japanese Festival at the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple on July 11. There will be chapel tours between 2-7 p.m., and traditional food will be available at 1 p.m. for $3-8. For more information, go to http://www.slbuddhist.org/.
12. Have a picnic in Red Butte Gardens and walk around.
Let me know if you'd like to do any of these activities with me!

See I told you I'd comment!! :) jk. But thank you for putting together lunch today! It was fun with great company. I'll have to try some of these fun things to do!
wow...look how creative and adventurous you are! Can I come?
Zach and I have been wanting to go bike around antelope island, but kayaking sounds like way more fun! We should get a group together and make a Saturday of it :)
I also want to do one of the races with you guys, I will check out the dates
Jenn, I've been to the Hindu temple in West Jordan. Very interesting. We would love to go visit some Buddhist or Hindu temples with you guys!
I have been looking for a 5K or a 10K to run! I haven't ran in a race since high school! I would love to do one with you. Let me know if you are planning to do any.
You seriously are always going and probably have more fun than anyone I know. I honestly don't know where you come up with all these ideas or find all these fun things to do. I need to move back to Utah just so I can do all these fun things!
