I was checking out the www.adrenalinesportslive.com website which will be held in October in Abu Dhabi....trying to see if I can some how get my foot in the door to work at this event and saw this. Thought it was ironic that a brand that manufactures razor blades has been confirmed as the official 'wristband' sponsors of the event. Could make for some interesting 'cutting edge' wristbands for an event, sounds dangerous.

SuperMax confirm as Official Wristband Sponsors

Super-Max, is a family owned brand that was founded in 1949, and has since grown to become the second largest manufacturer of razor blades in the world. Sold in more than 125 countries today and across all continents -almost 1 in 5 blades used worldwide are Super-Max blades.

Nick is even older than I am, but I am getting old... turning 27 this August :) We initiated a bit of a 'birthday week' this year, thanks mom! And it was an exciting week where Nick felt probably too much pressure to do something nice for it. The week included our white water rafting adventure and time at the casino then on the 9th we went out to lunch at Coopersmiths with a drink at the new Bondi Beach Bar in Old town and then dinner at one of my Fort Collins favorites, Cafe Vino. The food is great, obviously the wine is pretty good too. We had planned to stay out and have a few drinks at some of the bars in old town, but with getting old...we were both falling asleep by midnight..sad.

I got lots of goodies, but more importantly, my mom and aunt baked a huge cake, it was delicious. I haven't spent my birthday around my parents since 2004, so it's been a while! We opened presents and a ipod nano along with a new rock climbing harness were the favorites.
I suppose replacing some cameras were presents as well.... my 'stolen' camera with a new one as well as our 'broken' one with another waterproof..thankfully we're all set again ready to snap
away.

Besides getting to ride on a Nick's first school bus after white water rafting, he also got a chance to experience a county fair while in Colorado. We tried to enter him into the donkey rodeo and while 'open to all', he didn't seem keen on making and appearance and representing his home country. Anyways there's nothing better than some elephant ears, cotton candy and a hot dog on a stick for dinner :)
