Arizona! August 6 - august 10

on the airplane up we got a little bored...

on thursday me and lucy flew down for my "childhood bestfriend" Andrea Couch's wedding. We helped her get readdy and went swimming. then went to her wedding/reception which was very fun. afterwards we spent the night at the couches. and went swimming in the morning.




on friday we spent the day with the ellsworths and climbed the tree house with rachel, played teeter-tater, rode a motorcycle, rode a horse, watched harry potter etc. then saturday we had the wedding open house which was really successful and pretty! sunday we had a big dinner and went to the arizona temple and watched the joseph smith movie at the visiting center there. :)

Utah (thur july 30 - mon August 3)
Last minute my friend christine convinced me to go on a trip to utah for fun! we got to visit with my friend nick, sarah, and sherry! we didnt get to see paul and kari as they were in oregon :(
there we... went to a water park, played frisbee, climbed trees, had a picnik, played pool, raquetball, ping pong, board games, helped sherry move, watched movies, had icecream and ate guana food.
we drove down in her dads convertible which was fun and when we were out to eat at dennys we saw a mouse in the restuant!










after seeing the mouse a water ball hit my foot in the car and it scared me adn christine bad so we kept our feet up the rest of the way.
