We could just sail away and spend the day....

So Colton and I went to Lagoon yesterday and boy was it hot. I think the high yesterday was somewhere around 102. We got to Lagoon around 11, which apparently is when it opens (we thought it opened earlier so we were shocked to get there and it was barely opening). So we rode rides for a couple of hours. It was nice cause there were no long lines since it was so early. But after a while the heat was too much so we decided to go swimming. We swam at Lagoon-a-Beach from 1 to 6:30, that's 5 and a half hours!!!! So we swam through the heat of the day which was so nice cause it didn't bother us at all. It was fun going on the water slides and floating down the lazy river and just hanging out in the pool. Finally we decided we better get dried up and go get some food. After we ate some dinner we rode some more rides. Colton finally convinced me to go on the Ferris Wheel, which I absolutely hate. I know it sounds dumb, but I am terrified of heights, especially when I'm not strapped in. And the last time me and Colton went on he scared the crap out of me because he wouldn't stay sitting down and was moving the seat around so much I was honestly going into panic mode. But this time he was nice and stayed in one seat and i just sat and held onto him and didn't move until the horrible ride was over. The funniest thing happened as we were leaving. We're walking toward the exit and suddenly this kid comes up to us and starts saying, "What is this? What is this!" Me and Colton were completely confused because we had no idea who this kid was and weren't sure what he was doing. All we knew was that he was and employee because he had an employee shirt and tag on. Then he says, "This lady doesn't have a prize!" He then proceeds to weasle Colton into winning me a prize. But the funniest thing was, this kid wasn't even working at the game stand he took us to. From the looks of it, he himself had been on his way home but for some reason decided to stop us. So he got Colton to do the game where you have to hit the thing with the really heavy hammer and see how high you can get it. The kid even said if we didn't win he would give him his money back, so it seemed like a pretty sweet deal. So after Colton did it once and won one of those blow up hammer things, the kid then convinces him to do it two more times so he can then trade in his little prizes for one big prize. Colton made me do it once, which I barely won a small prize. But it was funny and I ended up with a stuffed penguin. It was a really fun day which ended on a really funny note. It was a great day.

Camping

So this past weekend I went camping with Colton and his family. It was a lot of fun. We went to Manti Canyon and boy was it hot!!! There was a lake near by that we walked to a couple times. On Saturday we took the kiddies down to play in a stream that fed into the lake. It was fun, and the kids absolutely loved it. Colton and his brother built a zipline, even though there were many protests against it and that entertained the kids for a long time. And of course we went on a couple of four-wheeler rides. No Woodman camping trip would be complete without that. It was really fun. Colton did not scare the crap out of me for once. We saw a bazillion cows though. One almost chased us, it was funny. All in all it was a really fun trip! I would put some pictures up but I don't have any. Hopefully I can get some from Colton.

This last week my mom, brothers and I went to Hermiston, Oregon to visit my grandparents. It was a fun trip. We didn't do much, just relaxed, did a little school shopping and just spent time with my grandparents. We played a lot of MarioKart on my grandparents Wii. Yes, my grandparents have their own Wii. Kind of funny, but yeah, anyway. We played everynight. It was fun. Over the weekend my Uncle Shane and Aunt Shawna came down from Washington to visit. On Saturday it was the Hermistion Fun Fest or something like that. They had tractor racing, entertainment, food, games, and other little booths. In the morning they had a 5k and 10k run. My aunt did the 5k and my uncle and grandpa did th 10k. Everyone was impressed by my grandpa. He's a little running machine. While they were all running, my grandma and mom took us kids downtown to see the rest of the stuff. It was a fun, very hot day. On Monday, me, my mom and my grandma made me a new dress. That was definately an interesting experience. All in all it was a fun trip.
