~The first day (saturday) we spent talking and eating and cutting hair and more talking and eating and laughing and eating and talking. The next day (sunday) We went to church. Because i was the only one that would be going to Young Women's, and i was having a hard time finding where they meet, my mom let me go to Gosple Doctrine with everyone else and then Relif Society. I think i like YW's better. After church we went to a park for lunch. My aunt Christen, Hanna, Tyra and I had fun swinging high on the swings and Christen and I had fun jumping off. Then we played softball/baseball. I GOT 4 HOMERUN'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(right outside of Boise)
~That night we went over to Paige's mom and dad's house. There was a concert across feield in the back of their house, and after the concert they were going to set of fireworks. While we were waiting we had a tong of fun playing around with pop and my camera.
(july 1st)










And then we had fun watching the fireworks...



At the end of the finalli, something went wrong and the whole street caught on fire. It was totally unexpected and we had a ton of fun watching it. And watching the little kids run around yelling..."FIRE!FIRE!FIRE!"
~ The next day my dad and Clair took all of us kids and teens to the dollar theater to watch the movie "Earth." And then we went over to some friends of the families (actually they are really just like family to us) Rob and Decembers sot the kids could go swiming and have dinner. Mom and Lilli also worked on Marissa's, Alicia's and my trek dresses.

~ Next day was soooooooooooooooooo hot so we went to the park for lunch.


The kids went swiming, Marissa and Aasha walked around the park and Alicia and I got drenched with water, layed on the ground reading books and played life together. That night we played "BF" all night long, and were pretty hipper.
~FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!!!!! We went shopping for a little then we went over to Rob and December's again.

While all the kids and teens were in the pool...

I helped cute chicken, fruites, made carmel corn and helped make a spinich dip. Then we ate a ton and talked even more, ate some more, made homemade rootbeer and icecream, watched fireworks...

...ate and talked and talked some more. And then we all went home around midnight.
~Sunday morning Mom, Dad, Hyram, Tyra, Hanna, Aasha, Marissa, Alicia and I all left in our eight passenger car for our 8 hour and 9 minute drive back to North Bend, Washington.


And i am glad to say that we all made it... ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

By the way, I prefer YW too! Man, do I miss it! This is terrible, but the last 2 weeks in RS have been SOOOO boring!!! (o: Hopefully, I will get better at coping with that part of it!

I miss you guys!
