Summer Vacation (Provo/Reno) August 8, 2008

I went up to Provo again to try and take some of the boredom out of Andy’s life. On Sat. we hiked up to the Timponogous Caves with Owen, Serretta, and Tean. I was a little upset with myself when I realized that I had left my camera at the hotel room. I had to resort to my camera phone, which doesn’t have a flash and doesn’t take the best pictures.

On Tuesday I flew to Reno and had a great time visiting with John, Lisa, their girls and with Rod, Tiff, and their girls. On Wednesday we went up to Lake Tahoe and hung out. We had a great time relaxing on the beach.

On Thursday I went on a hike with Lisa, Lely, and Sierra. I love being up in the mountains. Later that night I went to dinner with everyone and then all of the girls went to have manicures and pedicures done.

On Friday I flew back to Salt Lake so that I could spend some more time with Andy. On Sat. we went biking again at Sundance. I am becoming a lot more confident the more I go. On Sunday we just hung out and watched movies. Monday morning I said good-bye and headed back home.

It is so much fun being able to hang out with family. I have two weeks left of summer before I have to go back to work. I am hoping to spend time with Andy up on the mountain on his days off. Then I have to join reality again.

Summer Vacation (Lake Powell)

Well, to continue on with my summer I stayed home for 1 1/2 days. Then I packed up again to go to Lake Powell. This time I brought Andy with me. I thought he was in need of some fun away from Provo.

Most of my family and many others went to Lake Powell to celebrate the 4^th of July. Thanks to Sharla and Jeremy’s generous hearts we had a great time staying on their houseboat. During our stay we meet up with some of our cousins the Wittwers and Orchards. We docked the houseboat next to the one they were staying on. The weather was great. We had so much fun wakeboarding, swimming, kayaking, playing games and relaxing. Jeremy tried to corrupt us all by teaching us how to play 21. As you can see we all jumped in on the game. Jeremy divided up the chips and the last person after 10 rounds with the most chips won $100. Danna and Connie were the lucky winners. I have to admit when Jeremy put the $100 bill on the table the game became a lot more exciting. Thanks Sharla and Jeremy for the great weekend.

My first time getting up on the wake board.
