PARK CITY

On the right was the alpine slide. the left was the roller coaster and the Zipline. Favorite would have to be the zipline. I just love the feeling of flying free.

Mern and Keldon for the rollercoaster. These carts were SO FAST. The man said, There will be a point when your brain tells you you should break and slow down. What I want you to do is ignore it. Just push it out of your mind and press down fast to go faster. It's fun, and you won't die.

Good ol Rhett sporting my Miley Cyrus bag, Annie's bow and great glasses.

Shamane, Cass, Rhett, Lindsey, Keldon, Mern, Danielle, Katie(?)

To ride the rides you had to ride the ski lift up. It was so calming but took longer than we wanted.

These are the little carriers for the alpine slide. Unfortunatly these CAN and WILL fly off the track. 2 of these slides are so dangerous that after this season they will be taking them out. It's way fun though!

Mern and Jensen.

On my way up the rollercoaster.

Mom and I on the coasterLets see, in this picture you can see Lindsey,Adam, Dorie, Greta, Kayden, DeAnn, Marjann, Mona, and mom

The night before we played mom, lindsey and I stayed in the Ski lodge. My cousin Tara works there and got us a room. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. THAT WAS SO SWEET.

There was a pool table in our room!! :)

Phyllis, Adel, Grandma and Grandpa came to check out the room. It was so nice! There was a hot tub on the balcony. When you turned on the water for the tub the water came FROM THE CEILING. The TV came out of a secret spot on the nightstand. It was great.

Some of Mom's familys friends. They have been friends for many years so they met up for lunch in Salt lake before we headed to Park City.

This is for you VALDORIN

A day at LAGOON.

I love this place. Every year we would go to MEP for our family vacation. Most years we would drive by LAGOON and beg and beg and beg to go. It only happened once. But who can blame 2 parents with 7 kids. The odds of 1 of us getting lost was about 100%. I only say that because it's happened to us more than once. twice that I can remember. ANYWAY. Now that I was an Adult. Had some free time. and always make good choices, I chose to go to LAGOON. We had some of the meppers with us and had a blast. It wasn't too hot. there is a water park inside. Many fun rides. During the week the lines aren't that long. it was an epic day.


Here are some of us that went. Abby, mason, LuJean, Conrad, friend, Mom, Me, Val, friend. Tyson and his family showed up a bit later.

The cliff hanger gets you SUPER wet. There is something about being hung upside down and shot with a fountain of water.

These are the faces of 3 people scared for their LIVES....

haha. Val, Riley, and I did the SKYCOASTER. Basically they take you 60 feet in the air and drop you head first towards the ground. :)

We wore these super fun suits.

I think this is where she is telling us to look up and not look down so she could adjust our foot thing

up and away we go.

See that little dot all the way up at the top? Yeah, thats us!!! HOLY COW

The feel of falling was unlike anything i can describe. I really felt for a second that I might die!! that the cord wouldn't catch us and we would become one with the pavement.
But we didn't and we had a great time. I will do that again any time any where.

In the middle of the day we spent some time at the water park inside. They have a lazy river and shade and plenty of slides to play on.

Annie and Jensen showing some love. So cute.

The first boy

I was going through some of my OLLLLLD emails. I found this one that I had sent to a friend. It broke down how I got my first boyfriend. I thought it would be fun to document it.

MERN: You are as cute as I remember

Jake: Cute enough to date?

Mern: Define date

Jake: you know...go out

Mern: Define go out

Jake: like on a date

Mern: Just 1 date

Jake: Ya or more

Mern: or more....like boyfriend

Jake: Yes silly. well ?

Mern: okay ya sure.

haha. you would think I was like 12 but sadly I was 23! It's all good though. I have always been, and still am, WAY behind when it comes to boys.

Just around the river bend.

I have a surprise coming....

But I don't want to post about it until it happens

But its something that will make me happy

and it's something that will be hard

and most importantly....

And it's something that will be epic.

Any guesses? :)

So I feel

Despair is knowing the more I am around others, the more I want to be around you.

Days in Preston ID

One night while staying in Preston I talked Grandma, Mom, and Phyllis to have a pajama party on the lawn with me. It was great! A little chilly but it was welcome. We watched the footage of Sarah's wedding over in Egypt.

Grandma passed out. I don't know how she didn't fall out of that chair.

Grandpa has the coolest bike. That is the front view of their house. Beautiful.

Doing work in the kitchen.

We visited the peppridge farm company.

Here we are showing off our loot. They sell cheap cheap products depending on what the factory made the night before.

Aunt Lujean, Mom, Aunt Phyllis

Malinda, Grandpa, Jeralin, Grandma

CASPERS ice cream factory. They sell cheap ice cream. :)

Mom, Phyllis, Kim, Mern, LuJean, Annie, Jensen, Tyson, Brighton, Conrad

THIS folks is a famous DI. Some people *cough cough charles* don't understand the amazingness of this DI. But it is famous. In this DI Napolean Dynamite bought his AMAZING brown suit. It is full of many treasures.

Treasures like this.... This wedding dress....

Mom and Aunt Phyllis gave it a try. Isn't Aunt Phyllis a beautiful blushing bride??

I just knew I would find a new camping couch... for $10!!! lol. This one was too big and who needs another camping couch when the one I have is JUST PERFECT. If you need a cheap couch this is the place to go.

THE FARM.

Grandma and Grandpa Jensen live on a dairy farm. Grandpa's Brother and his son Bryce run it. I love the smell of this place. Who likes the smell of cow manure mixed with earth and grain?? this girl. It smells like summer vacation.

I showed Annie and Jensen how to run down the rows of cows and make all the cows pull their heads in from the gate as they eat.

Jensen and Tyson

Annie with fresh pea's out of the garden.

Playing in the fruit room. I remember many good days playing up here with all grandma's toys.

more of MEP

Here is the view from Uncle Jared house. How great is that!?

After MEP we went to the dam park and had a picnic. Lil Annie had some chocolate on her nose that made her look like a lil pig. so cute.

Here is all who attended, for the most part.

Another view of our campground.

Annie fell in LOVE with Aunt Phyllis. Now we are all in love with this lady but Annie took it one more step. She said, You are my 4th grandma. She said, grandma jensen has a grandpa, grandma haws has a grandpa, grandma nicols has a grandpa but you don't have a grandpa. I guess she didn't take a liking to Uncle Adel. lol

The sea of Red.

A classic in our family. You aren't a good baby until you are able to do this.

Jensen was lovin on that candy jar. lol

Cute lil Cadence. This is Lisa and Brandans girl. What a doll.
