Lake Powell 2014!

   This last week i had a WHOLE week off of work  and we headed down to Lake Powell!!! 

The night before we had a celebration for my grandma and grandpa simmons 50th wedding anniversary.  It was such a great program with singing and dancing and picture slideshows. 

I admire my grandparents soooo much!! 50 years of marriage people! Most people now a days cant even make it 5 years.  And they are still in love as ever!

    


     Now Lake powell: 
- Ate dinner around 9:30 or 10pm every night

- made progress with wake boarding and slalom skiing >>> i went outside the wake and jumped a tiny bit (unintentionally).

- Laid in the sun and took a nap every day which was glorious! Am i lame if i say that was my favorite thing i did:)

- Had a Mountain Dew party because my family is addicted//obsessed with Mountain Dew. What do you do at a Mountain Dew party you ask? Well, we didnt really know either. So we: dressed up like hill Billy's, ate food, talked, sang a song about Mountain Dew that my papa found on the internet, played Chinese writing, and lit off fire works!!!

- Toe hold competition: Let me explain. A toe old is when you are on a slalom ski you take your back foot out while skiing and place it (foot flexed) in the rope then let go. now you are skiing with your leg at a 90 degree angle being pulled by your foot. Its dang hard. One person we brought is an expert at it so we all had a competition. Christian won- 33 seconds skiing with the toe hold. 
practicing for the toe hold^^^

- Sibling Wake boarding: Preston wanted all four of us siblings to get up on wakeboards. it was so much fun to be out there with all of them:)


    




Yesterday i said goodbye to preston :( It actually hasnt really sunk in yet that i wont see him for two whole years and once it does im gonna be a wreck. He is my favorite sibling... shhhh. and really one of the only people in this world who gets me.  But he is going to do AMAZING out in the mission field and i cant wait to follow him:)


   Two more weeks at Roseleaf Academy... TIME TO PARTAY!!!:)
