Jumpin Jacks in Springville Utah
Posted by Chris | Filed under Activities, Family, Local Business, Utah
Last saturday, we went with the Jenson’s to Jumpin Jacks. Since I broke the screen in Melisa’s camera we did not get too many photos. However the Jenson’s did send us a photo:
I made the second one at picnik.com. It is an awesome online photo editor.
It is me and Sophie going down a pretty big slide. It was awesome.
I have not been able to find a website for them. So I am going to post their information here

I saw a bit on this the other night on the news. Light rail is coming to Utah County. AWESOME.
Here is a map from UTA:

A friend of mine pointed this article out to me. It is a summary of an interview with Robert Redford. Seems pretty stereotypical to me. Despite that he is married to a Mormon, let alone employs many many of them.
Excerpt:
“(Mormons) are very adept at not being fazed and speaking fluently and gracefully. Why? Because every single male who’s a Mormon goes on a mission for two years when they’re 19 or 20. … They learn how to deflect blows and stay on message. No wonder Utah is the place that all these Republican senators go. It’s perfect. So when you see Mitt Romney, he’s already practicing how to deflect blows and stay on message. But it’s plastic.”
I find it unfortunate that he cannot get his facts right. Despite living here.
Thanks to Chris Hicks for a great summary on this topic.
