my trips

Lake Powell

i had lots of fun at lake powell it was way fun. with all of my mom and dad's friends it was interesting but it was fun. Marilee, rick, and Victoria are one family, then there is Justin, Liz, Rachel, Alex, and Ethan. Then there's our family. we brought waverunners and I got a couple rides and even one by myself! I also did Wakeboarding and that was way cool! I did much better. i even did a rail side on the edge of the wake. even though it wasn't intentional it was still way cool.then wee went tubing and i had so much fun! I bounced off twice. the first time i kindof lost my breath but it was ok I wen t on again after that and the second time I fell off i skipped twice before I sunk. oh it hurt but not as bad as the first time.

Vegas

vegas was interesting we went to my mom's friend Christines house and she has two cute little girls named Emily and Grace. they were very cute. we went to dinner at Chipoutle. It was good. Funny story. I was standing next to my dad and Ashton and noone else in my family was around, and a nice lady was talking to my dad about how cute ashton was and then she turned to me and asked me if I was his mom or his sister. I said I was the sister. she laughed. then we drove about an hour and a half on our way to disney land when our car was being funny. so us kids were in the back watching pirates 3, but I heard a funny voice in the car so i took off my earphones, and it turnes out my dad was talking to onstar. so they said they would send us a tow truck. when the tow truck came it was a huge semi! wow we loaded our car and our 32ft trailer on it and we all had to get in the back, you know where the guy sleeps. well it was a good thing that he hadn't slept in it at all lately cuz i dont know if i couldv taken that. there was no airconditioning back there but we lived. so then we went to a car dealership and they checked out our car. then we drove to the airport that was near and me rented a mini van. but it was all good. then we drove back yada yada yada. the end of that trip.
California
we drove to disney land and spent the whole day there and we had lots of fun! it was way hot though. and it was the longest daylight day of the year. i thought that was kindof funny. any way after disneyland we drove back to vegas got our car and trailer then drove to our camping spot. we got there pretty early and we had to back all the way into our spot and wow our we good, we didn't even damage anything!! well most of the people around us were permanent residents but they were all very nice. oh the camping park was called Saratoga Springs. it was cool there.
The Butler Reunion
well this was really fun. this year my dad couldn't go cuz he had work to do at park city but it was really fun. i got to sit in the front seat the whole trip. I mostly read new moon again, and talked to my mom. nothing exciting. I slept in a tent with my cousin rachel, shes about 11, and that was kool.well the next day we always have races. when we did the 3 legged race i teamed up with my cousin emily. we got 3rd place. behind us all the single adults teamed up and they all were one line. so each of their feet were tied to another percons. it was an interesting expeirience to watch. when we drove home, we got pulleed over because of a fiasco with our liscense plate but its straitened out now.
Lake Powell
lake powell was WAY fun. i had lots of fun with my friend Alia. I got to go out on the wave runners by myself twice but the second time was really short cuz it started to rain. once we had to go to the marina, and I got a shirt that says Powell Princess, and it has a girl on the front with a crown on her head, holding a wakeboard, wearing a green t shirt, and swim bottoms. it's cute, and it was on sale, so bonus! its pink. well there was one I wanted to get that was all about wakeboarding but i didnt have enuf money so i had to let it go. on our second to last day alia and i went tubing and my dad gave us a nice ride, until we got to the houseboat. then he thought to himself, "lets give these guys a show", because everyone was at the top of the houseboat. so it was fun, then we hit a HUGE WAVE, and we went 15 feet in the air and the tube turned vertical. I mean completely vertical! it was interesting. my side was down towrds the water so I went out sooner that alia but she helpd me lol. she kicked my kidney, I kicked her stomach, and she punched my sunburn, and I fell off. all of this was an accident though. but when we went back on shore everyone was clapping and cheering and it was really fun! on our last day, i went wakeboarding, and i got better, if i may say so myself. i started carving and I almost went out of the wake but then I didn't so watev. but my mom took some videos. Ashton even wakeboarded. yes you read that right ashton, my 2 year old brother, was wakeboarding! it ws kool! so that concluded our trip. THE END
The 4th of July
we spent most of the morning cleaning but then we had a barbaque and went to the stadium of fire. Miley Cyrus was Way good and i was impressed. The blue man group is kool 2 and the stadium of fire dancers wow! there was about 500 or more on the feild all in perfect rythm that impressed me alot. the people behind us were soooo noisy. when we were saying the prayer, the girl behind me couldn't stop jabbering about how weird it was. by the end of the prayer, I couldv'e strangled her! Glen Beck was very funny. Then we had 3 women whose husbands were in the army, send them a message, and then they came on the big screen and they talked to us and their wives. Then the last guy said, "knowing that we are at BYU and Glen Beck is here i just have to say this" and he held up a Uof U shirt and said Go UTES. it cracked me up because people were trying to laugh and boo at the same time. then after the fireworks which were AMAZING! we went and hung out by our cars until about 1oclock at night and then we went home. so there is my fourth of july. pictures from most of these will be coming soon. dont blink! lol
