Cave.hike.

wait... was I supposed to stop doing this after I broke my wirst???
This hike was with these people. I liked that dog. Made me want to get one. Id have a major crush on her master if she was mormon and wasnt moving to california.



Well, after waiting in the airport for 13 hours last friday I had to face the truth that I was not going to get to go to Oregon and I also had to face the ironic fact that if Id started driving to Oregon when Id left for the airport Id have allready been there for a couple of hours.

So... I quickly started making some phone calls... I might not go to Oregon, but i Couldnt lose a precious weekend over it so Devin came through for me and hooked me up with a great hike to Naomis peak saturday morning. Actually what sould have taken a couple of house took all day because of such slow travel speeds. It was a great day though. First time I'd done this hike and I was very pleased.

Tuesday night we planned a trip to Providence cave and it was an amazing trip. I love going to providence cave, its a great adventure. I took a bunch of friends from my ward - the only people who had beene before were Devin and I. I think they were a little shocked at how dirty you got and how tight some of the squeezes were. But I think everyone had a good time. I enjoyed the hike back to the car because it was dark and I LOVE pine tree sillhouettes with a dark blue starry sky above. It was just beautiful. The best part for me, though, was the ride back in the back of Tobys truck laughing with everybody and lying on my back staring up at the stars as we cruised over the bumpy dirt road.

Summer time = HERMIT time




Well, I kept waiting to see if more pics would get posted of my adventures on facebook that I could post up on here.. but this will do. Ive been working hard to get my share of outdoorness joy this summer and I think its paying off. I have been camping lots and still have a LOT more I want to do before the summers end when everyone else has to go to school! This last weekend I went on a fishing trip with tony, cory, and devin up at a lake called smith and morehouse by kamas. It was BEAUTIFUL and the lake was nice and we actually caught fish! We had a lot of fun.. wish I could have stayed longer. Last tuesday, I went up by Tonys Grove here in Logan canyon and went camping with 2 mississippi girls, 2 guys from my ward, 2 british girls, and my cousin, Andrew. That was also a very successful campin trip. You can see andrew and I eating the dutch oven we made above. Good thing andrew had his super sharp knife to cut thsoe potatoes. Then you can also see me fishing on a rock bright and early the next morning. We didnt pay for parking and andrew didnt have his fishing liscense... so we had to cut fishing a little short. The only fish I "caught" got away right as I was about to pull him out of the water. The weekend before that we had our family reunion at fish lake where I learned "I have never..." is NOT the game to play at a family reunion. Or it is, depends. This weekend im going to OREGON and im super excited. I got a postcard on my mission from there and ever since its been my dream to go! So stay tuned for that adventure!
On another note, I went to a play with my friend jessica last night and her aunt is all into the theatre stuff up here in Logan so she had me talk to some people and im going to try out for a play sometime soon and im also going to take singing lessons ("finally", right? haha) Im very excited about all this.
