our summer in Idaho

Where do I start? This summer was packet with a lot of adventures.  Well to start off our wonderful summer we went to the ice caves.  I  had been once before, but this time coming back I started to feel claustrophobic and kind of got scared to go in, but I just went for it and tried to not think about it.  We went with Breanna and Ryan, Amy and Blake, so it was a lot of fun.  The caves are actually pretty big but there are a lot of places that you are sliding on your back or crawling or on your belly, so it is always a blast going through them.  Once you get to the end of the caves there is a big slide made by lots of people sliding on this one part and man can you get going fast.  We also had glow sticks, so we broke them open at the end and sprayed them every where.  It looked like stars every where.  It was a really fun adventure!







We made it!!


Next was a camping trip with my family to Lake Palisades. We camped at a camp ground right under the dam. At the lake we were able to get a floating dock and spend the day there while jet skiing around.  Towards the end of our day we were being pulled on a tube behind the jet ski and the next thing we new the rope went up into the jet ski and we were stranded.  We flagged a boat down and the pulled us to the floating dock.  Once there they pulled our jet ski up onto the dock and by some random chance they had a grill tool and used that to fish the rope out of the water filter thing from the jet ski.  After that we were all fried and headed back to the camp ground, but man we had a lot of fun.






4th of July time!! For the 4th we headed to Driggs to celebrate the huntsman's 4th of July firework show! which by the way was sooooo amazing by far the best firework show in America.  It is even better than Idaho Falls! At the celebration he has a lot going on like air shows, magic shows, BMX biking show, and then a a talk from huntsman himself about America and what we stand for.  Then of course the amazing show.  I will also load a video of part of the firework show.






We also went to the Idaho Falls firework show on the actual 4th of July. Huntsman always does it over the weekend so more people can show up.

Kicking our summer off right.

Summer is officially here! My favorite season has finally arrived. There is no better way to celebrate the first weekend of summer then camping! Michael and I love camping. Their is just something about campfires, sleeping under the stars, and s'mores  that get me excited to camp. This weekend we camped in Provo canyon with some friends that are going to BYU. Once we got camp all set up and the fire going this little guy decided to pay us a visit. Not going to lie I thought it was a bear sneaking up on us at first. I was scared out of my mind, but then he stuck his head up and I felt a lot better. After making some yummy s'mores and relaxing by the fire we got in the cars and headed to squaw peak to  look at the beautiful lights from on top of the mountain. You can see all of Utah Valley from up there. Everyone knows that if you are looking to get a goodnights rest  that camping is not what you want to be doing. ...

A THANKSGIVING FULL OF FAMILY & LAUGHTER

I was so excited when I found out my family was able to go to Moses Lake for Thanksgiving! Tualatin is only 4.45 hours away from Moses Lake, so once they said they said they were going,  Michael and I were definitely going too. We had so much fun with the family, but missed Kelsey and her husband a lot! Hopefully next holiday season they will be able to get more time off from the Marines. So one of the nights we were there we all played Heads Up (The app game Ellen Degeneres made that is like charades.)  We seriously all about pee'd our pants we were dying of laughter! By far one of the funnest game nights I have had in a while!  I was able to catch a few of them on video, but I definitely missed the funniest ones. Here is a look at our crazy and awesome family! Justin and Dad Michael and Uncle Corby Seriously though if you are looking for something fun to do with a bunch of people, this is it my friends!! Do it. I absolu...

A Weekend With Family & Friends

There is nothing better than spending time with friends and family. I cherish every moment I get with them. Never take time with your family for granted because you can never get that time back. I am the most  happy  when I am around family.   My goal this year is to try to be around family as much as I can because  those are the memories I want to remember the most. Here are some pictures of the awesome weekend with family and friends. .......... We got to go to the Ogden Raptors vs. the Idaho Falls Chuckers game with our friends Ben and Rachel As of lately Zupas soup, salad & sandwiches has become one of my favorite places to eat,  so before going to the game I made everyone eat at Zupas with me.  such good food!! Overall it was a really great time with our awesome friends. and of course I was cheering for the Chuckers... even though they lost. The girls got to come so it was fun having them ...
