Cowboys, Water, and Pioneers

This past week has been such a fun one! Jam packed with activities. It started off with our annual trip to the Strawberry Days Rodeo. We decided this year we were going to dress up. It's always more fun when you're in character! A night of rodeo queens, tight jeans, fresh strawberries, and horses. Very delightful.

The next day it was off to Lake Powell. Benita Bates, Roxanne Hutchins, Jacob Sohn, and Myself all went to Powell with our friend Cami Dye's family. It was so fun! Lake Powell is definitely one of my favorite places. We had such a good time.

One of the highlights was the weenie wars. We spent hours out on the lake knocking each other off of the water weenies. If you ever get a chance to ride on one of these take it. They are SO fun!

Trevor was home for a few weeks from school so I got to hang out with him a couple times. Trev has been one of my closest friends since I was in like 7th grade (and he was dating chels ;)...) . I love when he comes home and we get to play!!Saturday our ward hiked up Ensign Peak with Jack. R. Christensen. He taught us along the way and at the top we received yellow bandannas to symbolize the Banner the pioneers raised when Brigham Young climbed Ensign Peak and coined his famous phrase. "This is the right place, Drive on." It was so neat to talk about the pioneers and how much faith they must have had to trek all the way out here and to look out and see what has become of it. I was surprised I'd never even heard of Ensign Peak before.

Also...Still going strong with no DDP! I thought Lake Powell would be the death of me, but it ended up not being too bad. My friend Cami is doing it with me, so it has helped to have some moral support!
