High Adventure!

This past week Mom, Dad and I went on High Adventure for girls camp. It was tons of fun and very adventurous, almost to the point of deadly. We'll tell you details and stories when we see you because its too much to type. The first day we went rappeling. 80 ft cliff. The second day we climbed Half Dome. 17 miles in one day. The third day we went on a 1500 ft zipline 60 ft up in the air at Moaning Caverns. The fourth day we went whitewater rafting on the American River, classes 3, 4 and 5. Friday we went on a 14 mile bike ride up in Tahoe on the famous Flume trail. Very hard and very terrifying. Its a miracle no one died. Then we came home. Fun week.

Here are some pictures.














This is me and Moriah Doman dangling our feet over the edge. Mom and dad were freaking out.














We all made a huge deal about this because Kelly started reading the Ensign in the car and she came across this article which basically says how this girl got converted because she went to girls camp and read a touching article in the Ensign. We had to get a picture =)

First of all, I would to thank Brett for keeping the Buzz alive!!!

Second of all, I would like to share a snippet of a conversation I had with the Bretters just moments ago. It made me laugh. Very typical Bretters.

Brett: So I went camping in Yellowstone this weekend!

Me: How fun!

Brett: Yeah, we saw a bear.

Me: Really? That's so cool... what kind of bear?

Brett: Well, I'm not so good at telling bears apart but I kind of narrowed it down. I know it wasn't a polar bear. I'm pretty sure it wasn't big enough to be a grizzly. So it was definitely a brown bear or a black bear.

Me: (dying laughing) I think you narrowed it down about right.

Brett: Well, I'm no Steve Erwin that's for sure!


The End. Maybe you had to be there. But it was funny. I love to hear about Bretters' adventures.

Now, Dev and Kim. I know you're tired but can we please get some anxiously awaited updated pictures of Wyatt! Who does he look like? I need to know.

Awkward Moments!

Ok so first one... I was walking home yesterday in the Rexburg 85 degree weather. I am a healthy kid and because I am healthy I sweat (a little) when it is hot and I am briskly walking. I crossed the street and was about 200 yards from the entrance to my apartment complex. All of a sudden a girl from my ward came out of the middle of nowhere and linked arms with me!! She is not to attractive, to me at least!... She linked arms with me and started to talk to me. My first thought, Um please get your big arm off my soon to be very sweaty arm!. My second thought, are you serious right now? My third thought, what is going on and please let me walk home in peace? I couldn't believe it... I asked her what her name was and was very nice to her. We walked with linked arms for like 100 yards and then she split off and went back to her apartment. I was very confused and was trying to think if she had to do that for a class or if she is just awkward. Not in a rude way but I hope that I don't "run into her again"!




The next one... Today I got a haircut and as I was sitting there I noticed that every other person there was talking to the person that was cutting their hair. I thought to myself, Am I suppose to spark up a conversation with this person? Aren't I kinda paying her to cut my hair and keep ME entertained for that half an hour? Also... when someone "plays with" your hair, it feels good and you get kinda sleepy.... right? Thus I don't really have a desire to talk... I think that I would rather just get in... and get out! I don't know... what do you all think?
