This last weekend, a couple of friends as well as Richard and I, decided to take a trip down to Utah for some fun! We drove down in Steve, (our little brown car) with everyone and their stuff in it. With Richard and I in the front, Jason, Spencer, and poor Britney squeezed in the middle in the back the entire ride, was pretty cozy, but we had a lot of good times! Saturday morning, we got up early to start off the day! We got to Lagoon at 10 when it opened and stayed until we couldn't walk any more. (which apparently is only 8 hours long because we left at 6) Of course my crazy fun husband likes to start the day with a bang! We went on the Samurai first thing. oh the spinning. For those who don't know me as well, I have really low blood pressure and an extremely weak stomach to go with it. I have to warm my stomach into the crazy rides so I don't have to sit out the entire day after throwing up or passing out. :) oh the joys of my life! So I sat out of this one and took pictures. sadly it wasn't my camera so I can't show you the only three pictures we took the entire trip! I know sad day. I will get better at that I promise! To continue this fabulous journey...I made a deal with my husband (his absolute favorite ride is the samurai and tried really hard to get me to go on it) if he would let me warm up my stomach on a few smaller rides, I would come back and do the samurai with him. Sadly by the time we got back to it, the lines were forever long. So I never actually got to ride it. (I'm kind of okay with it) Some of my favorite moments are with my former roommate and one of my best friends, Britney Davidson. Richard does hilarious things all the time, but I tend to laugh harder when Britney is there to laugh with me. (she is one of those people who have a very contagious laugh) There is a ride there that is in the shape of a dragon. Very fun by the way, but at the entrance there are two statues in the shape of lions. Being my weird self, I started rubbing his curly head like it was buddha. Richard says, "Don't touch the dragon! It's bad luck!" He then proceeded towards the ride as the line had moved at this point. Britney then mumbles under her breath, "You're right cause it's not a dragon. It's a lion." I started busting up because I hadn't even caught the fact that he had mixed up the animals. Plus the fact that she was really saying it to herself, it made it funnier to me. :)
After a full day of rides and spinning, along with queasy stomachs and headaches, we headed home for burgers and stadium of fire fireworks. At the very end of the day we watched Transformers. It was really fun with all of our friends and hope to do something like it again next year!
Almost immediately upon arriving home after a 4-5 hour drive, Richard wanted to go to his family cabin where his parents were at this time. Mind you, it's an hour drive! I convinced him to take like a 10 min nap before leaving again. We were both exhausted. So we drove another hour and got to swim in the lake and go boating with the family I got to babysit for in Idaho Falls. (Richard is there cousin so much of their family was there in a cabin next to us) It was a blast. The next day we headed back into town. On the way, Ricardo wanted to stop by his work in St. Anthony at the theater he often works at, to watch Transformers 3. (it was good by the way, but I still like the first two better) After an exhausting, but incredibly fun weekend, we were able to sleep well that night. We are hoping to do it again soon! :)
