I've decided I'm really terrible at keeping things like this updated. I mean the last time I wrote on this was in November and it's already halfway through August of the next year! This has been an amazing year though. I've had such a fantastic summer with a ton of great new friends and new experiences! I went to St. George for the first time with my friends Michelle and Katie, which was one of the best trips I've been on since I've been in Utah. We went to Zions National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and not to mention a little side trip to Las Vegas and Hoover Dam. Good times with a couple of wonderful girls!
Once school got out the adventures continued! I started to meet some great people by going to my friend Clint's game nights each Sunday and then also going to Cameron and Ben's on Thursdays for another game night. We became this awesome little troupe that just continued to grow and add more people. We've had bonfires, hikes, movie nights, days at the beach, trips to Salt Lake, and a couple of great campouts up at Bear Lake!Our first weekend trip up to Bear Lake was over Pioneer Day weekend. The group included me, Drew, Emily, Landon, Clint, Talmage, Ryan, Heather, Ben, Bryan, Nate, and Swayz! We were going to camp up by Bloomington Lake, but ended up just staying in Clint's grandparents' yard out under the stars. That day we had gone and played at Bear Lake for a while, then went and made dutch oven dinners and desserts. Some of us took a short drive up to a small pond and walked around for a bit, while others just stayed by the fire and chatted. The next day we went up to Bloomington Lake and played on the rope swing where there were some near death experiences, but luckily we all survived! It was such an awesome weekend with a lot of great memories that will never fade!
Two weeks later we headed up again for even more adventures. The group was made up of me, Drew, Emily, Landon, Clint, Nate, Bryan, Jake, Brian W, Britney, Catherine, and Ryan. This time we were staying at Landon's family cabin and it's a good thing we did, because we had a pretty decent thunderstorm that evening. It was funny because the guys had just finished making this amazing fire pit....but just 15 minutes after the fire was up and going it started to pour, it was cool while it lasted though! We all went for some late night dips in Bear Lake and then settled down for the night and woke up with the sun bright and early the next day. Then it was down to the lake to make a giant pyramid of sand. Some of the group had to take off early and the rest of us stuck around for a while longer and enjoyed the last part of Raspberry Days.
Well the summer is beginning to wind down now, but the good times are still going strong. We're trying to get every great moment we can out of it!
