SUMMER FUN

SUMMER FUN






ZIONS NATIONAL PARK We went down to zions over a weekend with a few friends it was our first time to zions we went through the tunnel in the mountain that was cool ill give you a million dollars if you can hold your breath start to finish. It is so beautiful down there. There is a bus that we toured zions park on. We did many hikes saw some water falls. There is a hike called angels landing it is about five miles but its straight up and as you get toward the top you have to hold onto chains it's a long drop down it was a bit intimidating but im glad to say i did it and ya we wold do it again. we had a blat down there.










YELOWSTONE Brandon and i and my family and my grandparents went down to yellowstone over fourth of july weekend we spend the weekend at my grandparents cabin. We drove through the park. We saw old faithful, we saw two bears and a cub we were driving for probably an hour and a half and did no see much of nothing tell we stopped to eat at a picnic area wear we saw the first brown bear and brandon and my dad were just following it down a hill to get some good pictures im glad that bear was'nt hungry. Then we ran into the balck bear and her cub. we never saw a moose thats all i wanted to see but there will always be a next time. We went floating down snake river that was so much fun. We went to the fire workes on the forth they have the best fire work show there. We stayed up tell two in the morning playing games. But the highlight of the whole trip was when alex and chandler had to pee. We pulled over and said carful there is bears so saying that brandon gets this great idea to sneak out of the car go down into the bushes where they were and scare them acting loke a bear, well pretty soon Alex comes running up so scared he starts crying luckily he was just zipping his pants up or he probably would have pee'd all oved him self or even brandon. We still laugh about that to this day and probably will forever





TOP OF MAPLE MOUNTAIN Hiking up to the top of maple mountain was a one time experience fo me. ha ha We started at eight thirty brandon his sister and i. The hills were rocky and pretty steep it never phased brandon but it kicked my butt well the first part was more intense then it was not to bad. We got to the top at one thirty signed the book taht was up there injoyed the view and headed back down. Going up is more exhausting but coming down just kills the body especially the knees but we made it back down at four thirty glad i can say i have done that. The next day i was so swore i walked around like i was nine months pregnant ha we were so sun burnt on top of it all






TUBING PROVO RIVER Floating provo river is so much fun we floated it twice with some friends hopefully we can get in one more time before summer is over. The water is freezing cold but you get used to it. Just watched out for the rockes they sneak up on your butt and it does not feel so good. We have had such a great summer there is so much more we would have liked to do butt summer is to short we will just have to wait tell next year. but we are greatful for what we were able to do. We hope you have had a great summer as well.
