Story

The Kirkhams met at our house at 3:00, so we could go to the Burraston Ponds in Mona together. We took the kayaks, and they took their stand up paddle board. We had a fun time paddling around and hanging out. We finished up around 7:00 and stopped for hamburgers in Santaquin on the way home.
