The Big Two Oh

My last day as a teenager I spent in St. George hiking in Zions. Perfect way to finish up those teen years. It was my first time going to Zions and I loved it! We just did a short and easy 3 mile hike called Emerald Pools. Sorry I didn't get any pics.

In celebration of me entering my 20th year we spent the day boating at Willard Bay.

Perfect weather. Perfect water. Perfect day.

Congrats Darrell :)

Spontaneous trip to St. George...?? YES!

I had a conversation with my brother Chris Monday night that went something like this:

Me: "Chris I'm bored. Let's go on an adventure."

Chris: "Ok. Let's go to St. George."

Me: "....... OK!"

What could be better than a spontaneous trip to St. George...??

So here I am, kickin' it in St. G! Chris has a friend who lives down here so we drove down Tuesday night and we're leaving sometime later today. I have been riding horses, playing in the river, kayaking/playing at the lake, night hiking, etc.

Pretty much all I did yesterday was entertain little girls ha ha! Chris' friend has 4 little sisters here and they are my new best friends - Emily, Sarah, Summer, and Terrah - the cutest girls ever! :) The littlest one is 5 and she is adorable. They were entertaining me all day yesterday while the boys played some game on their computers.

We ended the night with and endless game of hide and seek! It's been in the hundreds here which is why I live in Logan ha. Too hot for me to live in, but it has been nice for a couple days. It's been a good week full of vacationing, but I'm definitely ready to go back.

Fathers Day

We had a good Father's Day here in the Rau home. Everyone was able to come, which was a lot of fun, as usual.

My Mom got a couple princess dresses from a garage sell and brought them out for the girls. They loved them! They were so adorable!

Cute little Brynlee Boo :)

Look at that double chin, and those chunky cheeks!

I drove the Geo down from Logan on Sunday. Taya's pajama shirt had gotten lost and when Mike was outside looking for it on the ground and around the cars he noticed that the left front tire of the Geo is coming apart! Ah! I knew the tires were pretty bad but I had NO clue I was driving on a tire like that. Talk about scary! I can't believe I even made it home without a blowout... Thank goodness they lost Taya's shirt or else I would've left for Logan not knowing about the tire and... yah you get the idea. Bad news bears.

Lagoon

I went to Lagoon on Wednesday. It was the first time since I was like 16. It was pretty fun. I can't handle the rides though like I used too... Which is a total bummer because I LOVE roller coasters. However now they make me nauseous.

Funny story: So everyone wanted to ride the Rattle Snake Rapids (one in which you get wet). We had already ridden it once and I was all dry again, so I chose to sit and wait while they all rode it. A half hour later we were eating dinner outside and suddenly it starts dumping rain on us! Ha ha so that's what I get. I ended up soaking wet anyway.

One of our favorite rides is the newest roller coaster Wicked. It's pretty fun! We rode it about 4 or 5 times. And it was perfect because there was no one at the park that day so the lines were super short! We also really enjoyed the bumper cars for some reason. I don't know why but they made me super happy ha ha.

Memorial Day

My Memorial Day Weekend was pretty eventful and fun filled...

Went to the Planetarium

Had a little sleepover with my little brother in our tent trailer

Woke up at 6 am and ran my first ever 5K! AND got free breakfast for it

Went to the Willow Park Zoo

Drove up Providence Canyon and hiked to a waterfall

Yup, it was a pretty good weekend :)
