I went riding at Alta on October 22nd. The weather was perfect but the oxygen level at that altitude makes it tough
to climb those hills.

These pics were taken on October 8, 2005. A few of us got together and played some hockey and then went to the
skate park.







James graduated from Bingham High School on June 9th. He was
the valedictorian and received several other awards and honors.
