Finally some pictures!!

Here are some pictures of my adventurous summer at the National Ability Center. This is Kristen, the other intern. She came from the University of New Hampshire. This is at a free concert at Deer Valley Resort. Local bands and stuff.


Here's me working on the ropes course with a girl who is blind. This cool contraption is called the 4 to 1. It allows someone to pull themselves up to the top without using much effort. If you weight 100 pounds, it feels like you are only lifting 25 pounds (hence the name 4 to 1).

Yeah!!! Little E!!!! One of the coolest kids I got to hang out with. Tons of fun!

This is at the 4th of July parade. The young boy is on a hand cycle. I'm walking with a guy on a recumbent bike...all adaptive equipment.

This is Kristen and Tracy, our intern supervisor. I took them rappelling in Pleasant Grove on our last day. Good fun!!!

More 4th of July pics. These are a few of our COOL horses that we use in our Equine program. The big one with the mohawk mane is called a Norwegian Fjord. Beautiful, powerful horses. This ones name is Ayla. The mini horse is Hercules. :-)


After spending the whole summer at the NAC, I'm kind of sad to be done. I won't miss the drive to Park City every day. But I will miss all the cool people I worked with. I guess it won't be too bad, though. They hired me to teach horseback riding lessons in the barn. Sweet!!! I'll get to spend the whole day with the horses. I even have some advanced riders. They make my job easier. I have a good life.

The other days of the week I spend working on my thesis. Trying to get it finished so that I can graduate in December. I'm still planning on IU in January. I'm not overly excited about it yet because I have lots of things to get done in order to go (THESIS). But I'm guessing some time around Thanksgiving it'll hit me.

BYU football rocks!!! I'm going to the game this weekend against UCLA. Go Cougs!
