CALIFORNIA

OK, remember from my last post When I said that I am horrible taking pictures. Well sadly it stands true for this post too. I have officially set a new goal to better at taking pictures. Over the weekend me and two of my friends went to California. We got there at 2am Friday morning and left at 2pm Sunday afternoon. We played a ton and got very little sleep (I do not think we got more than 4 hours a night). But there was just so much to do. We went to Disneyland, it was only my second time ever being there so the Paul and Ryan, who have been there many times became my tour guides. We went on a lot of really fun rides, and ate lots of really good food. We were at Disneyland for 15 hours, after that we were all exhausted and ready for sleep.

We were at Disneyland for 15 hours, after that we were all exhausted and ready for sleep. We got back to house at 2:00 am only to get up Saturday morning and head to the wedge, which is a place known to have really big waves on Newport beach. The waves were HUGE. (The waves in the picture do not look nearly as big as they were ) There were probably 500 people standing on the beach on 5 people were crazy enough to try and surf these waves. The poor life guards looked so stressed out. We were only there for 45 minutes and we saw them rescue 2 or 3 of the surfers.

We then drove sown the beach to the U.S. Open of surfing where professional surfers were competing. We saw Kelly Slater (Who is apparently one of the best surfers) score perfect tens. It was so much fun to see the tricks these guys were doing in huge waves. After that we drove down to San Diego for a wedding reception, then back up to Hollywood for Fiddler on the Roof, which was an amazing play to watch. Once again we were out til 1 or two in the morning. Sunday got up and went to church, and then headed home.

I decided that I am horrible at taking pictures. I do not know what happened, I used to be so good at it. I got ready to post this and realized i did not have very many pictures. Annyway, over the fourth of July my whole family got together in Payson for a family reunion. It was alot of fun to have everyone together again. I wish we could do it more often but we are so spread out it makes it hard. But when we do get together we have a lot fun. This time we went to Lagoon, fire works, swimming, paintball wars, and duels. Dad got the worst of the duels TJ shot him in the head just above his mask. (and somewhere else which I wont mention here). ouch!

We also took family pictures, which is always fun with a bunch of little kids. Amazingly several of them turned out, with everybody looking.
