We left Albuquerque 8-11 @ 6 p.m. then we drove and drove. We went through Aztec NM this time to get to Cortez, CO. (I wish we would have seen it in the light, I sensed it was beautiful farm country). Then we finally made it to our camp spot in an area between Monticello, and Moab. We slept in the JEEP. Then bright and early we continued our journey to WELLSVILLE. When we got there my dad was ready for us to help him get ready for a REAL camping trip. So we went to see my mom who was still at work and to the grocery store and napa auto parts and a few other places. Then we got the camp trailor ready and OFF we went to IDAHO!
We set up camp and went to sleep. In the morning we went to Blackfoot, ID to a POW WOW, parade and HORSE RELAY RACE (awesome). The relay race consisted of 1 guy and 3 horses, BAREBACK. The rider had to ride the first horse around the track then jump off at a run then jump on horse #2 also starting to run. Then off they go around the track then he jumps off again at a run then jumps on horse #3 also starting to run. Whoever does this in the shortest time WINS! I thought this was so exciting to watch these natives jumping on a horse BAREBACK at such an alarming rate. CRAZY!!! Then we went back to camp for some HOTDOGS and MARSHMELLOWS. (and John and Ali SAVED us with some grape salad and sandwiches- love you) Then my brother, sister-in-law and NEPHEW came. I just love BRAXTON, he is getting so big and I am always missing him. That night we slept in my Aunt and Uncles trailor, in their nice comfterble bed.- THANKS AGAIN BRAD AND VAL!
The next morning we fished and Brad put my worm on my hook and I tossed it over the bridge and let the current take it!
Don't mind the PJ's, I had just gotten up.
Then MOM made us breakfast. We played on Brad and Val's FOURWHEELERS, and FLOATED THE RIVER!
Needless to say we had TOO much fun at the RANCH!
On the way home we stopped at an ELK RANCH near Preston and we got to see some HUGE (say in a braxton voice) ELK!
Monday is a BLUR (for me but I will have to get Kendall to write about his EXPERIENCE), monday night however BRAXTON spent the night with us and Tuesday we spent the WHOLE day getting wet in the ditch and even WATER BALLOONS- Love you Buddy! Wednesday Me, Kendall, MOM, DAD and BRAXTON went to BEAR LAKE! HOLY COW it was soooooo HIGH! I don't think I have ever seen it that high.
you can't tell how high the water is from this photo because my dad is sitting under a tree by the road in charge of the camera- Love you dad!
Thursday Kendall and I went on a HIKE!
After our hike we went made a DELICIOUS lunch and watche "how to marry a millionare" with Marilyn Monroe. Then we went to visit my GRANDMA Leatham.
Friday Kendall took me to porcupine dam to see how high it was and it was just BEAUTIFUL up there in the mountains of AVON.
But first we had to play in the mud!
AMAZING!
Friday night we went to my aunt and uncles house to watch an OUTDOOR MOVIE! We watched "megamind" I absolutely loved it and Kendall bought it for me the next DAY- Love you Karma and Carl!
SATURDAY is our last real day in WELLSVILLE so we had to make the best of it! We went to some yard sales, and the DI and to hastings, taco time for lunch. RANDOMLY we ended up at the Franklin County Fair for about 20 minutes. I found my future RIDE
Then to the grocery store (MACEY'S i just love to go i always see someone i haven't seen in years). Our last supper was papa muphy's pizza ( i know lame but it was good). - Thanks for such a FUN day MOM, ALI, AND KENDALL- LOVE YOU!
Sunday we say good-bye to my favorite place full of my favorite people(of course i bring my MOST favorite with me). I will miss you UTAH! - Til we meet again! (I'm hoping for Christmas);)
Again I am soooo sorry this is so long but what can you expect we were gone for a week and 2 days.
