4th of July Weekend

For the 4th of July weekend we went to Buhl with Cori again! We left Wednesday after classes. We stopped in Twin Falls at Mattie's grandma's house and had dinner with Mattie's family! After we got to Cori's we went swimming at the greenhouse pool (her family owns greenhouses). The next day G woke us all up early. We were not very happy...but he made us pancakes. Then we weeded the yard and helped move plants in the greenhouses so that we could spend more time on the river. When we were done moving plants we got to go to the river for a few hours...then it started getting stormy. That night we went to the pool again (this time it was heated). On Friday we went to the river earlier in the morning so that we could spend more time there! Again we ended up leaving because it got stormy...but we had at least been there for most of the day. We played sardines in the greenhouses later that night. On Saturday (the 4th) we went to the tractor parade! TThen we went and had a big picnic with Cori's family at Shoshone Falls! On our way back to Cori's house we stoppd at the Perrine Bridge! On Sunday we went to the singles branch there and then went back to Rexburg.

Disneyland!!

Over the weekend me and a group of friends went on a road trip to Disneyland! It was about a 14 hour drive. We started here in Rexburg Thursday night and drove down through Utah, Arizona, and Nevada before getting to California. On the way there we stopped at Temple Square since I have never been there before! It was very pretty. We also drove down the strip in Las Vegas. It wasn't that exciting. We ate breakfast at Ihop once we got to California. And a couple hours after getting to our hotel on Friday we went to California Adventures and Disneyland! We were there untill it closed at midnight! Except when we went to go get dinner at In-N-Out Burger (my first time there also). On Saturday we woke up early to get to Disneyland when it opened. The only time we left was to go get lunch. And then we were there till closing again. Then we got only a few hours of sleep before we left to go back to Rexburg. On the way home we stopped at St. George and went to Sacrament meeting with Ryan's grandparents, who fed us lunch before we left. I got home after 11 that night while the people in the other car didn't get home untill the afternoon on Monday due to a flat tire:( The whole trip was a blast and we are hoping to make it possible to do again next Spring semester!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Friday after noon about an hour or two before we left, Cori decided she wanted to go home for the weekend. She didn't want to go alone so she invited us to go with her. We went wake boarding and tubing on Saturday and Monday. And on Sunday we played the Wii and had a BBQ! It was a very good weekend and I had a ton of fun!

21 days

Guess What! I am going to Disneyland in 21 days!!!!Mattie, Me, Cori, Mary, Sara and Cate made a paper chain to count down the days till we go to Disneyland! On each link is the title of a different Disney movie. So we will watch a Disney movie every night until we go to Disneyland!

You are probably wondering how 10 broke college students are going to be able to go to Disneyland...well it all started when our friend G told us he has a sister that works there. His sister, for one day can get 3 people in for free! She has 2 friends who also can get 3 people each in for free. Since we will be going to Disneyland on Cate's birthday she will be able to get in for free So we all are going to get in for free! We only have to find the money to pay for food and gas!

College Life!

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks. I will have more up on facebook if you want to take a look!
