Those 10 days of Summer

Why is it that time never does what we want? that old time cliche that time flies when you're having fun, is cold hard truth. I finished up my summer semester, and had 10 whole days to prepare for the upcoming fall semester. oh boy. The day i took my last final, my family and i headed up to Bear Lake for a few days of beachy bliss. (even though we never went to the beach.) We got up there late Wednesday night and got settled in our cute condo in Harbor Village, of course we kicked off your mini vacation with a good long run of M*A*S*H episodes, because that's what we do. The next day we had to drop by the pharmacy, because Ben got his wisdom teeth out and had gotten an infection, the meds took a little while to be called in, so while we were waiting the in truck, Ben discovered a random piece of chalk rolling around on the floor and so we took it upon ourselves to use it the best we could:

We also outlined Ben's 6 pack that he has even when he's not flexing. punk.



 After that we headed off to the marina! We rented a boat, and i will not lie i was all sorts of excited because i had never been boating before. We all got in, and launched the boat, then we took off and cruised around the lake for about an hour before we got out the toys to play:) Ben strapped the wake board on and took off like a pro:



he was not a fan of the cold water;)

After Ben was done, dad gave it a whirl, he got so close to getting up, but sucked in too much water and had to take a break. I was hoping to attempt wake boarding later in the day, but the water got too choppy to even attempt. Maybe next time! We all got to tube though, even mom got in the water which was shocking, because it was Shark week, and the woman hates deep water (because of the sharks;) but she did, because she's awesome like that. I loooved the tube, i seriously giggled like a 5 year old girl when i was on it, kind of embarrassing, i had not self control haha.

We boated for about 7 hours had lunch on the water and just had so much fun! Later that night we went and got pizza and then, of course, we watched more M*A*S*H!
Friday Morning, mom and dad had to go down to Logan to close on the new house they are buying. So that took a little chunk out of our day, we just kicked around town before going over to Pickleville playhouse for dinner and to see Forever Plaid. It was such a funny play, they did a great job putting it on.
We headed home Saturday, and packed a few things for the move. Sunday i taught my young women for the last time. I have been so blessed to have that calling, like any other calling in the church it's had it's ups and downs, but i truly loved serving those girls!
Monday we went to the Brigham City open house, it was seriously stunning! If you have time to go to the open house do it! Anyone can go:)
The rest of my short lived summer vacation was mainly spent packing and preparing for our move to grand ole plain city. I went to dinner with some friends and had a movie night with my cute friends Alisha and Shanda. All in all an all too short summer vacation. I head back to school tomorrow!

Goodbye sweet summer...
