I just love three day weekends. They are completely exhausting because there are so many activities and I sleep...VERY LITTLE. But I just don't want to miss out on anything. In case you are wondering why it is a three day weekend there is a little treasure I like to call Pioneer Day, it is a state holiday and we get a day off work! YES! On a side note, I distinguish days on activities because normally you only do one activity per day so when I do more than one activity it feels like a different day. This as been happening to me a lot...so many activities in one day therefore I can barely remember what I did on Thursday but I would like to walk you through my weekend because it was just BLESSED through and through!
Thursday:
- Dinner with Bri. Even though she is married we still get to see each other quite a bit! It makes me so happy!!!
- Katie Clevland's (friend from last apartment!) bridal shower. It was so good to see old friends! :)
- Outdoor movie at the capitol. Forever Strong. To refresh your memory, I watch this movie once before at an outdoor movie night and it is just a fantastic movie. I'm not really a movie critic though!
- Took Rachel (my roommate) to the airport. It was really sad, she is going to be gone for 2+ weeks and I'm going to miss her very much!
- World's Largest Water Balloon Fight...oh my blessed event! It was INCREDIBLE! I have been looking forward to this for quite some time now and it was all that I dreamed it would be and more. We did in fact break the record...just barely though! There was a pretty big group from my ward there but we didn't all get a picture together. Best part of the fight...water balloons were flying everywhere and hitting you everywhere and one hit me in the mouth and popped in there! Haha. I had to pull the remnants of the balloon out of my mouth! This activity also came with a free lunch...what more could you ask for?? Here are some pics and a video for your viewing pleasure!Before picture: Bryanne, Devan, Me, James, Elyse
Heidi was there too! Love this girl!
We each got a bag of 30 balloons
After pic! Orange and Blue totally came out victorious!
- After that a small group of us went for a dip in the pool and then got snow cones and ate them in a park. Actually I'm not a huge fan of snow cones so I didn't get one but I did enjoy the ride!
- That night I spent that Becca's house in Alpine Becca is a friend from the ward, there was a small group of us that went and it was a blast. We made a DELICIOUS dinner and then some more swimming and then smoothies and a horrible movie that I slept through (while that is saying next to nothing because I sleep through really great movies...this movie was seriously terrible) An Education...don't see it!
- Best part of the day: I wore my bathing suit for probably 8 hours and didn't shower! BAHAHA!
- I woke up fairly early and took Elyse to the airport. She was in the ward during the fall/winter but is now living and home in AZ preparing for grad school in the fall. She was just visiting for the weekend but got to enjoy the water balloon fight as well as some Alpine activities.
- Now here is where the festivities really begin:
- Farmer's Market in SLC...this was fun...really hot but they had some BOMB salsa...I would have bought some if I had cash OR had somewhere cool to store it all day. But give my circumstances I wasn't able to.
- Native American Festival: When I heard those words I just knew I needed to go...how does one pass up an opportunity like that? It was such a let down and was more like a tiny street fair however there was something inside a tent that sounded more fun but you had to pay money. On the upside it was at the same park as a bird zoo. It was cool we watched one show and walked around a bit.
- Fictionist concert. Local band played a concert up at one of the ski resorts, it was fun. Before we went into the concert there was a stream down below where we park and we decided to go down and check it out. Not a good idea two of us decided to just run down the hill and that was a horrible idea at the bottom of the hill, before the stream was a lovely little swap that was hidden until you were IN IT! Needless to say my favorite shoes and legs were covered in mud and washing off in the stream was ICY COLD!
- After the concert we enjoyed some fireworks after the Salt Lake Real game!
All in all it was a FABULOUS weekend! However I am really tired...this morning I wasn't sure if my snooze was on or not, didn't care and went back to sleep. Luckily it was on and I was on time to work but man, I need a nap! This weekend equals about two weeks in activity time!
