lake powell

Lake Powell was a blast with my fam! We also had 2 add on's(which are pretty much part of the fam). Hunter (Huntee) & Madi (Tweedle dumb). It was a fab trip with these folks! Definetly give this trip a 10/10

We set out on Wednesday morning to go to the lake.. listened to some 21 pilots, Kodaline, Shawn Mendes, and many many other artists:) Me and Madi also tried to watch Lord of the Rings. Which didn't last long, we ended up just listening to music (which is life so it's fine). We ate some brownie brittle on the way up! Which Madi introduced to me this trip... AND HOLY COW ITS GOOD! I highly recommend it. Also on the way we took many selfies so I'll show yah a few

cheesy smile selfie yo

do not know what I am doing in this picture but it explains our friendship lol

   Trying to show our excitement. Trust me we where way more excited then this

As soon as we got there we didn't wait a moment. We got our swimsuits on and got in the water. Went down the slide on the houseboat. It didn't have water running down it the first time so it killed my butt. Don't do what I did word of advice.

this hurt so bad

got a cool "splash" picture so all is well

We also tried to paddle board but IT WAS DIFFICULT. I have the worst balance EVER! Ask anyone so I ended up just sitting down on it which failed in the end. I also enjoyed taking random pics with Madis ukulele (which sadly I don't have the best skill with) 

  Hey no one will never know I actual don't really play..;)

Next thing we did was go jet ski. And let me tell you it was scary at first. Well, It always was but we got used to it in the end. Our first time we went we where pretty awful. We rode with the boys & totally freaked them out. My brother started screaming, I've never seen that before hahaa! I went off a jump going like 40mph and accidentally pushed the gas when I was falling backwards.. we shot out really fast and almost fell off. Which could've been bad but luckily were fine haha! We rode through the canyon, then after a while we stopped to get out and chill. Ended up taking pics on the rock

Lets just say we are not the most skilled at chest bumps

Now this is just embarrassing. How is this possibly an attempt at all?

  Madi is a baby and wouldn't get on the floor with me. So she sat on me! haha  silly her

After our long ride we chilled most of the day swimming back and forth to the dock and back. Getting our "exercise" it would've been really good but we swam in our life jackets! Also Huntee dragged us on the kayak. It's pretty long tho so I would say it was okay. That night tho it was such a pretty sunset! HOLY COW

Would you look at this beauty

The next day was one of my favorites there. Me and Madds woke up bright &a early and went for a walk on the deck. We ended up buying some souvenir t-shirts (which where totally worth the 20$) they where the comfiest things ever!! We also got some matching anklets. Which sadly I lost in the end. I was trying to be cautious so I took it off and lost it. While Madi kept it on the whole trip and never lost it! HAHAH! that's the last time I'm trying to be careful:) I got a whole day out of it tho, with some pics. 

Twinning is Winning

I really miss this anklet

Put some fancy braids in our hair. It was actually to help with the jet skiing.. the day before it took us an hour to get the knots out

When we got back from shopping we headed out on boats and our jet skis! Me and Madi rode in the boat first while the guys rode the jet skis! Huntee went like 60mph it was breath taking! haha I would fall off to my death. Later tho me and Madi rode he jet skis. We lost eachother for a bit and totally freaked me out cuz the lake is pretty gynormous!! I found her in the end tho after like 30 min haha! We stopped and ate some lunch as a fam! Which was really fun. Had some good laughs! I'm pretty sure the guys think we are the strangest things ever tho. Oh well, they gotta love us! We where pretty beast on the jet skis tho if I must say! Riding so fast then going on huge waves was so much fun! Pretty sure that was my favorite part of the trip! We would scream at the top of our lungs when we saw a huge wave come. We would get air and get soaked. Oh then we sang 21 pilots on it (people probs thought we where so weird) Later that night we went for a night ride in the boat and decided to go cliff jumping. It didn't seem so big at first until I got up there! HOLY WHXKIXUEBD! it was huge. Soon enough I got the courage to jump off the cliff. Face planted, bruised my leg, Turned my face purple from impact! No biggy! IT HURT SO BAD! At least I can say I did it tho haha

Scariest thing EVER

Huntee wanted some pictures with us. (jk we forced him)

The next day we set out for Rainbow Bridge. It was a fun day. It took about 3 hrs to get there it was hot, long, but so worth it. We got lost a couple of times but it was bound to happen at some point! When we got there we where so tired and done. Then we had a hike ahead of us! YIPPEE! Last thing we wanted to do at that point in time... it was super short tho luckily. Rainbow Bridge tho was really cool and it's like one of the tallest natural bridges in the world. Fun fact for yah. 

It took us like 10 tries to get a good jumping picture. My mother was so confused with the camera hah

On the way back we passed a lot of hot guys. Which was interesting. We looked awful and they looked so good and I'm pretty sure we where staring. haha! Whatever were most likely not going to see them again EVER. We listened to 21 pilots which helped us through the heat! We where about to die!! It was fun tho and I'm glad I got to see one of the wonders of the World. On the way back to the house boat me and Madi where flying everywhere! The waves where going crazy! Bruised our tail bones I'm pretty sure! It was so much fun tho/painful. That day was so much fun! Loved it so much! That night we also made a fool of ourselves bcuz we where singing how much our butts hurt, and how they where going to fall off. haha! They where really really really burnt. We where singing and realized there was a guy watching us he looked frightened. It definetly is a trip I will never forget! I'm so glad I got to hang out with my Tweedle! Love her so much besties foreves! Even tho we act more like sister (which we pretty much are) haha

fourth of July

The fourth was this weekend! WAHOO! Definitely one of my most favorite holidays EVA! Well, after Christmas of course. This year me and my fam spent the weekend up in Brian head. At our very "stylish" condo decorated by my dad. It's pretty great you would think we where hillbillies from the look of it. 

We started out on Thursday, me and my mom headed out early to go on an adventure. And a adventure we got! We didn't know this but it had rained for 2 constant days pretty much so it was really muddy. We went for a little ride on the razor, got lost, covered it in mud (including us), found a 20 yr old bus, and saw the best looking sunset EVER! We almost died coming back.. riding down a hill when it's like a river is not a good idea. For those who do not know that. We made it home safe & sound tho, and made a very memorable night.

I think this has been there for a while

RAZOR RIDING! (pre mudding experience)

The next day me and my whole family got up bright and early and headed out for Bryce Canyon. A hour and a half later we made it. It's so pretty up there and the hoodoos are pretty cool. We hiked through Bryce Canyon and on the way got lost. Didn't figure that out untill we hiked 2 miles straight up the hill. Yeah, that was great ahhaha! Took some great shots up there and my brother actually took pics with me. That was seriously a miracle! Got sick on some gummy bears, they're like mine and my dads favorite candy tho:) The hike was overall fantastic even tho it was very long.. oh and here's a funny story. Hopefully you don't think I'm to weird after his ahaha! So me and my brother where hiking and thought my parents where behind us. We where doing the strangest things. Well, I was pretending to be a T-Rex and went to surprise my parents (which I thought where behind me) instead I scared some Indian couple. They screamed and ran away. When I told my parents this my dad started crying from laughing, which I haven't seen before! Oh and later this huge bee was chasing after my mom and she was screaming running all over the place and ran past those same India folks. They probably thought we where the strangest humans ever. After the hike we headed home and worn out from out trip, slept and went riding.

This is the pose everyone does I guess

we sat on a cliff:)

HOODOOS

ITS NOW THE 4TH OF JULY! YEAH MAN! Celebrating the birth of the country was cool. My whole fam dressed up in red white & blue. of course. We headed out for the arts festival! Partied hard there. I almost went bungee jumping but didn't, which was disappointing IT LOOKS SO FUN!  By this time we where really tired and Brian Head was pouring rain so we just took a easy day. We went for a little ride in the hail which was scary but also fun/painful. After, we headed towards Cedar city to watch Jurassic world! which was my 3rd time seeing it, whoops! it's seriously such a good movie I totally recommend it! Gets better each time but less thrilling sadly. It's all good tho, we got some cafe rio after which was heavenly! After our day spent in Cedar we headed back up to Brian Head! Slept for a little bit and headed to go watch the fireworks. Last year my dad found the most perfect spot on top of the mountain to watch them so we went there. They kinda switched it up this year so half of them where behind the trees and not in the area that was treeless. got a good 5 min tho of decent fireworks. They where really cool tho the ones we actually saw! But everything that explodes in the sky in different colors always is cool. Had some great treats and hot coco up there which made it better! Once they where done we headed back down to our condo. Which was also a scary demotic experience. With it raining all day it was muddy, but we where in the dark this time. So that was cool:)

   

Had the greatest weekend with the fam!
