Part 2

So here is part two of my catch up post.. This summer we went on lots of trips. It was SO fun! Matt and I just love to travel and see new things and I'm so glad that we got the chance to play last summer, since now we have school and not much time to do anything. Our first adventure was a belated honeymoon to California!

We went to the beach..

And to Lake Tahoe (Our favorite place)

we saw a light house! (barely.. it was sooooo foggy!)

And we went to the Oakland temple, So beautiful!

One of our very favorite parts of the whole vacation was camping in the redwoods.

it was basically the prettiest place I have EVER been!

We drove along the coast.. It was super foggy so we couldn't see anything and the road was super windy and crazy, it was wild!

And because of the fog this was about all we could see of the Golden gate bridge

We also went to six flags! SO FUN!

The elephants was pretty much my favorite part!

we went up to Rexburg to my graduation.. We took my mom and dad and Luke, Tonya, and Talon and we had lots of fun!

In August we went to my cousin's wedding in St. George and on the way there and the way back we rode mountain bikes in Austin.

Our crazy load of bikes.. We took Josh with us..

Us at the Temple

And The awesome couple!

Later that month we went to my old roommates wedding

And then we went camping. We put a mattress in the back of the truck and then slept in there. It was super fun.

the next day we went to the city of rocks

So, funny story. We took another trip back up to Rexburg to look around for a place to live and what not. We decided that we would camp half way in Twin falls to split the trip up. So we had planned out where we wanted to camp, but by the time we got there it was dark and so it was hard to find it. We went on this long dirt road and then after a while there was a road closed sign. So we found another campground, but the road to it ended up being closed to. I guess there was a big fire going on so all of the campgrounds we were thinking about going to were closed. So we kept on driving down these out of the way roads hoping we would just find someplace where we could set up a tent. At about midnight we finally stumbled into this campground and we were so tired that we didn't care what it was or anything we just wanted a place to sleep! We could tell that it was by water, but that was about it. When we woke up and got out of our tent this is what we saw.. (thats our new awesome tent by the way)

It was SO pretty! It was also really nice and not expensive.. We were glad we found it cause we definitely want to go back! I mean look we even had our own personal dock!

We could hear stuff going on late that night while we were sleeping and we were like, that sounds like a bailer.. sure enough when we woke up there were farms and new bales right on the other side of the water.

On that same trip we went mountain biking up by the Tetons.

And we found this awesome bridge!

so to end our awesome summer we took one last trip to Tahoe.. This time Mom, dad, Luke, Tonya, Logan, and My aunt and Uncle's family all came and it was awesome.

We did a lot of Mountain biking...

And we went kayaking and swimming.

Oh and Talon did awesome at camping!!

Well I think that about sums it up.. We had a great summer, and now I am almost caught up to posting about the present!
