4th of July!!!!!!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July. I know I did haha. This whole weekend was fantastic. Friday we had our apartment game night like always. It was super fun. We played the “what if” game which is always tons of fun. And we also played “Werewolves of Millershollow” that has to be like my favorite game. I feel bad though for everyone cause while I was trying to explain it everyone was talking and I was getting so frustrated. I know some people defiantly noticed my frustration. So for everyone on Friday sorry! Ya’ll just need to stop talking when I’m trying to explain a game hahaha. Anyway continuing on Saturday was super fun. A friend of mine invited my roommates and I to her grandma’s house for a BBQ/Picnic. It was sooo much fun. We roasted hot dogs over a fire then played some pool. Then we went to Beaver Dick. Okay the Snake River is part of Beaver Dick and with all the melting snow etc the river was flooded. So we all just got on a dock and were jumping in the water and swimming soo much fun. Then on Sunday church was amazing as always haha.

Now 4^Th of July!!!! So our bishop had our ward over his house on Monday for the 4^th. It was sooo fun. One of the best 4^th of July’s ever!!! So when we got there we started off with tug of war but water version. Nate my fhe bro was in control of the water house while we all were fighting to pull the other team over the line. It was fun my side totally kicked butt. Next was human battleship. I cannot even begin to explain how much fun that was. There was a huge tarp between the two teams like in the game battleship. And we would lie down and position ourselves while the other team would through water nerf balls at us. And we would go back and forth it was a blast!

Next was the dunk tank!!!! And yup I got dunked!!!! Okay just fyi being in the dunk tank is very scary!!!! The suspense is hmm what’s a good word…. Awesome …scary …completely terrifying haha. Ya get the jest. Then it was on to the slip in slide. They had made this huge one with tarps and water hoses. It was a lot of fun. After that some of us went down to the canal to go canoeing. Well there were a lot of us and not enough canoes so we ended up getting this raft dingy thing. It was fun! But first there was this bridge. And as many of you know I have been really wanting to go bridge jumping. And well there was a bridge over the canal. The water was about 5 feet deep so we had to like bend our knees so we would like sit on the bottom when we jumped. But before that Stephanie and Caroline bless their souls had to convince and persuade me to jump. Okay I’ll admit it. I was TERIFFIED!!! The last time I jumped off a bridge it was in a river and the water was deep. But this was five feet!!! So I finally jumped and bent my knees the wrong way so yup you guessed it I hurt myself. Have some scratches on my foot and a nice little chunk of skin missing. So yeah me and Steph jumped in. It was fun minus my missing skin haha. So we get in the raft thingy and we are paddling then we (Steph and myself) decide to swim. So we jump out of the raft and we swim to where we get off at Brother Barnes house (one of the councilors in the bishopric). Can I just say how good it felt to swim. Not just play in the water and swim a little but the actually swim! It was amazing. But now I’m sooooo sore hahaa. I haven’t used those muscles like in forever ahha. Anyways so when we get out they have this hayride trailer hooked up to a truck waiting for us to bring us back to bishops’ house. That was fun!! Ya know riding down the street on this hayride trailer waving as the cars go by I felt like I was in a parade haha.

After that it was dinner time. Oh man home cooked food was sooo amazing. We had so much good food!! Like it was amazing. The perfect picnic food!!! I’m going to stop here cause just thinking about it makes me hungry and my mouth water hahaha. After dinner we had a little dance party some of us did the thriller. Yup yours truly participated in that haha. And me and Stephanie did karaoke when they brought that out. We totally kicked major butt singing “wannabe” by the Spice Girls haha. Oh so our bishop and his wife have two horses and they are beautiful!! They are both black with white spots on their head. Yup I was in heaven. One was pretty nice and allowed us to pet and feed it while the other was more distant haha.

Next were the fireworks!!! We went to Manean. Which was so so so much fun. It made me reminisce about when I was little and my family would visit my grandma in Menean when she used to live there. It was awesome the fireworks were great!!

So yeah that pretty much was my fourth of July. It was just an absolute blast!!! Now it is back to school! UGHHHHH. But only three weeks left then I will be in Connecticut for seven weeks! Can you say BEACH!!!! Oh I’m sooo excited!!!. Well till next time be safe be happy. Love you all!! xoxo
