Weekend in Utah

This last weekend I went to Utah with my siblings. We went down there on Thursday and went to stay with my cuz Maria. Mom and Dad were going to California to go to Mikes wedding. On the way down we stopped in Spanish Fork to get Drew's hair cut. It took alot longer than I thought a boys haircut would take. We got done there and went to Grandma's house to see how it was coming along. Her house is now a three bedroom and a bathroom with alot of air. No garage, kitchen or roof. There is a set of stairs to the empty basement, but other than that it is air. On our way up to Hooper we stopped to eat at Chadders in American Fork. I got a hamburger with everything and fries. It was SO good. We continued on up to Hooper and when we got there we took all of our stuff in and ate some dinner. My parents left and then we watched a few movies, Enchanted and Cheaper By The Dozen 2, then went to bed. Friday we went to the Roy pool. We got to the pool and I was being stupid and thought I didn't need any sunscreen so I didn't put any on. I swam with everyone for about an hour then got hungry so we got out to eat. I didn't really eat anything so I just sat there and drank water and Dr. Pepper, YUM! I didn't get back in the pool for the rest of the time and just read my book and layed in the sun for a few hours. I started to burn and was stupid again and did not put on a drop of sunscreen. At about 4 we left for the house and then did I finally realize how dumb I was being. Later that evening I still wasn't eating and stiff as a board, from a severe sunburn. Marsha was the perfect aunt and did anything we asked and helped us with our sunburns. Saturday we planned to go to the zoo but we were hurting so bad there was no way we were going to be able to walk around all day, so we sat around all day and watched movies. That night was Mel's birthday party in Orem so about 5 we all got loaded into Maria's car and drove to get Natasha and go to the party. The party was fun , a cowboy theme, and lots of people showed up. The party went until about 9 and we left the church at 9:30 PM. We went back to the house and went to bed. Sunday morning we were supposed to go to church but we all slept in to late, so we didn't go and sat around again. My parents came back about 4 and we ate dinner, roast, and then played The Great Dalmuti. At about 11 we finally went to bed. Monday was spent meeting family and going to the park with Natasha's family. We were supposed to drive home that day but we sorta got carried away and didn't have time to drive back, so we stayed an extra night. This morning we left Marsha's house at about 10. We got back here and we watched a weekends worth of TV and ate raspberry cake. The weekend was goo except for the sunburning and the very bad blisters that I still have and will have on my trek on Thursday. I'll write about the trek on Saturday.

Rock Creek

Today was sooo much fun! We, the 8th grade, went to Night at The Museum and then went to Rock Creek Park. Night at the Museum was hilarious and I would totally recommend it to anyone. After we got done with the movie we drove to Rock Creek for the rest of the school day. Megan and I went and found a nice tree to put our stuff. When we first got there we ate our lunch which consisted of a turkey sandwich, chips, carrots and cookies. They honestly were boring. I wanted to go down the slide and so I went and went down the slide a few times. It was a pretty boring afternoon and so we sat down again and ate some Funyons. We ate almost the whole bag throughout the day, they were so good. We then got bored so we dropped a leaf from the bridge and followed it downstream until we lost it or it went to far. We did that a few times then we decided to go and watch the volleyball game. The game wasn't all that interesting so we split and went for a walk down the path. We were at about the half-mile mark it started to rain--hard. My hair was straightened so of course, it got all curly and frizzy. I wanted to go back but Meg wouldn't let me go back, so we kept walking. It just kept getting harder and when we almost got to the end of the path Mrs. Archer came and told us that they were going back up to where the buses were picking us up. We were the last ones on the trail and so when we got back to our stuff our bags were all wet. Everything was wet except my towel so I put it on my head so my hair wouldn't get any wetter. The buses weren't there yet so when we got to the top we had to wait forever for our bus to get there. We got back to the school and there were still 20 minutes left so instead of going to my SSC class I went to Meg's class. The school day ended and here I am writing about my day.
