Hey sorry I haven't posted in a while... So many things have happened in the past few weeks, I have not had any time whatsoever to play on the computer. So be prepared this post is going to be extra long.
Logan trip
First I will start with this trip. I went to visit Laekin in Logan, (ha that rhymes!) that was really fun! We stayed up almost all night with LaCretia, Rachel, Mavanee, and a lot later, Laekin, talking about school, commanwealth, church, and family. It was really cool. Then the next afternoon, Laekin, Mavanee, Mayree, their Dad, and I went to go and see the Traveling Dunlap Broadside. (Aka copy of the declaration of independance) In the second floor of the Capital Building, there was a huge circle blocked off, and people were standing around the declaration of independance. So we decided to go into the opening to look at it really close. When we got there this guy started talking to us, and asked us how long we had been in line... Laekin and I were like, there's a line? We looked around, and all the way behind the pillars, there was a line, and it circled all the way around the spot where it was. So we moved out of the circle, and out of the way of all the people. We later decided (after much deliberation) that we would watch the movie about it downstairs. After we learned more about it, we walked back upstairs and decided that we would zoom in on my camera and take some pictures on the outside of the circle. (I thought they turned out really good.) Then we had to leave. After that we went to Deer Valley to watch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert! It was so amazing!!! I have two of the songs they sang on my ipod and I love listening to them! The only downside was that it was really cold... and a guy behind us was carried out of the concert on a stretcher... I don't know what happened, but I think it was the elevation. :( It was my very first concert of any kind ever!
The next day Laekin and I hung out at the house and talked, then our moms invited us over to their training to be a jury in a simulation! That was really fun! It was my first time being in a simulation jury, but I was not new to the whole thing. I was on a jury for Youth court one time, and that was fun. Youth court gives you so many hours of community service rather than time in juvenile jail (if I spelled and worded it right). I was volunteering from the SERT team and the CERT team. (School emergency response team and Community emergency response team) I had fun with that. Anyway back on subject. After that, Laekin and I took her dogs on a walk up to the little canal by her house to swim. That was fun too. Owen (one of her dogs) Swam the entire time, while Bellanie (her other dog) just got in, and out. She is such a cute dog! She was so insecure the whole time, she would sit right by Laekin, and just watch Owen swim. Laekin coaxed her to swim for about five minutes, and that was the longest she had been in the water since we got there. After we were done and walking home, Owen found a little ditch that he wanted to swim in, and started pulling me to the ditch. It was funny, we knew it was way too shallow for him to swim in, it would have just come up to his knees, but he thought it was deep enough, and he was preparing to jump. Laekin and I traded dogs, and she pulled him away. Right when we got done walking the dogs, my grandma came to pick us up. So we decided to take a few quick pictures. We did the spy pose and a few other poses, it was fun! Their house is beautiful and so is their garden! it took them a long time to fix it the way they wanted it. But Im sure it was worth it in the end. I cried as we were pulling out of their driveway, and I laughed too, on the radio the song A Candle in the Wind was playing. I had an awesome time there and cant wait to visit them again!
Bryce Canyon
So secondly, we visited bryce canyon. To see pictures and stuff, go to the Mott Family Blog, a link is on the right hand corner.
First Day of School
The first week of Commanwealth was fun! We were introduced to our classes and I don't have as much as I thought I would to do. The Meyers Visited, and I've seen a whole lot of people that I haven't seen in a long time. Shakespeare is a huge class and there are more boys than girls so the girls wont have to play boy parts! Wo hoo! There are lots of new kids, and I can't wait to get to know them better.
Anyway I better go and I'll try to post more often.
Cya!
