Happy Birthday Micah!

To celebrate, or maybe just for fun, I tagged along on a hike with Dave, Kristi, Angela, and Micah.  It was a fairly easy hike, and tons of fun.  Doughnut falls was the name of the destination.  A stream of water wore a hole in this rock, and now the water come crashing through into the small cavern below.  You can get right up to the falls, if you are willing to get wet up to about your knees.  It was a fun trip.  Kristi, my aunts, new obsession is rocks.  She got a polisher and polishes everyday stones so that they look really pretty and cool.  So that is what she spent the hike doing, finding new rocks.  I was wet pretty fast, but I didn't mind.  I even got my heart rate up enough that I can count it for my exercise program! Hooray!  Thanks for bringing me guys!

Micah and Angela (for future reference)

Also,  my aunt Angela is having a baby!
I'm having trouble grasping this concept for some reason.  It is never something that occurred to me before.  Rather shortsighted of me.  Well, congratulation Nana!

Today I was surprised by a poster.

I was called away to help my mom with something suspiciously vague (not that I realized that until way later).  When I returned to my room, my mom, Megan, and Dad followed.  It took me forever to see it.  A poster had been hung on my magnet board.

This is a Vincent Van Gogh painting of the TARDIS from Doctor Who.  Pretty amazing.

Happy Birthday Emily (for real this time) !

After another color guard practice, we went to see Mirror Mirror for Emily's special day.  It wasn't the best (I'm still waiting for Brave) but I liked it okay.  It was fun anyway.

We had Chexmix in place of cake and watched another movie, My Future Boyfriend.  That one was funny.  All in all a fun day.

Hippo Birdie Two Ewes!

Retainer!  I don't know if that makes me happy, but it is here!

 I was metal free for all of 2 days before I went back to metal mouth, this time with no end in sight.

Camp Kickoff.
Today, Mutual was Kickoff night for girls camp.

Our skit song is to the tune of "You don't know your Beautiful," the One Direction song.  The words however are "Nephi your so spiritual!"  We'll see how that goes.  We also started practicing "A season to be strong" one of my favorite songs.  Can't wait for Camp!

Happy Birthday Emily and Micah (observed)!!

Dave and Kristy joined our Sunday dinner party this week while we celebrated our birthdays.  I thought Megan should have been included to.  But, Hey.  We had fun, especially when the Jones came and joined our Werewolves game.

Saturday, June 23rd

In the morning was the Youth Fundraiser: a combined Car Wash and Bake Sale.  Not the most original but it was okay.  Somehow I got stuck on sign dancing duty for an hour and a half and got the sunburn you may see in the pictures below.

That night, we went down to Salt Lake.  We went to the Clark Planetarium, always fun, and then went swimming at the Hotel we were "staying at."  We actually came home to bed so we could get to church in the morning.  But it was fun to go on a day-cation.

Utah!

I always knew Megan was an Alien

Oh, and good job Mom and Dad at your Half Marathon!

Today, I slept in.  That in of itself makes me happy as it felt like the first time in a long time.

So, I had color guard today again, and we finished the preshow, which is the music I posted on Tuesday!

The show is titled Coulrophobia.  I'm excited! (And exhausted!)

Today I spent all day babysitting a little boy.  Though cute, it is frustrating trying to communicate with him.  When I ask a question like "Do you want to play with your cars?" or "Did you have a good nap?" he doesn't nod or shake his head, he points at random places.
But, while he was napping, I got to watch Doctor Who, and that did make me happy.

And, I made money so that is a good thing too.

Pretty much nothing happened today.  I read all day, finished a book or two.  It was nice to be laid back.

Happy Father's Day!
I love you, Daddy!

We went to our Grandpa and Grandma Hot-tub (Nielsen) for dinner.  I felt sick the whole day, but I borrowed some books from Grandma recommended to me by Dad.
Books are always happy.

Mostly today I was extremely happy to see my bed at three in the morning.
But while unpacking I was also happy to see that my Sand Dollars survived the trip.
Saturday night was Megan's first Stake Dance, but that doesn't make me particularly happy, though not having to go did.
The thing that really made me happy was the fireworks.  Though, I did not go to where the accompanying music was playing, it was a cool show.  I watched from my room in my nest chair.

Today I got to hear my Color Guard/ Marching Band Music.  It's exciting.  Here it is.

Today is the day that we leave San Diego (aka Sandy Eggo).
After collecting all our thinks and having Dad pull up the car and load up our suitcases, we drove the the temple.We walked the grounds and tried taking many pictures.

After, we set out back on the road.  We ate lunch at Chick-fil-a and dinner at P.F. Changs in Vegas.  After dinner we crossed the street to the Belagio dancing water show.  We watched two shows.  One of them was to the Somewhere in time soundtrack, a new favorite of mine.  We left pretty quickly because Vegas is definitely not family friendly anymore.  We drove through the night and finally arrived home at 3:00.  And that means here ends the documentation of our vacation in San Diego.
