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.

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!
