SAYING GOOD-BYE TO ASHLEY WAS HARD TO DO!!!!

WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME RELAXING,VISITING,SHOPPING AND LAGOONING.

ASHLEY HAD TO HAVE MEXICAN FOOD BEFORE SHE FLEW BACK TO WASHINGTON...

ASHLEY WAS SO CUTE, SHE SAID "QUINCY, WASHINGTON JUST DOES NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MEXICAN FOOD THAT I AM USED TOO". HER FINAL REQUEST WAS TO GO TO GARCIAS TO HAVE LUNCH BEFORE HER FLIGHT BACK ON ON JUNE 28TH AT 01:55 P.M. WE ATE AT 12:30 AND THEN DROVE TO THE SALT LAKE AIRPORT. I AM GOING TO MISS HER SO MUCH. SHE IS SO MUCH FUN TO BE WITH AND SO HELPFUL TO ME. SHE ALWAYS MAKES ME FEEL SO LOVED AND SHE TRIES TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF OF EVERYONE. I LOVE YOU ASHLEY AND CAN NOT WAIT TILL I SEE YOU AGAIN-LETS PLAN THANKSGIVING WITH SHARAE AND LANDON OK.

LAGOON DAY-MONDAY, JUNE 22,2011

TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY TO GO TO LAGOON. I WENT TO COSTCO AND PICKED UP THE TICKETS(WHICH WERE REASONABLY PRICED). WE WERE GLAD LANDON DECIDED TO GO WITH US, HE HAD ALOT OF READING AND STUDYING TO DO, BUT WE TALKED HIM IN TO IT. BILL DOES NOT LIKE AMUSEMENT PARKS AND THE RIDES MAKE HIM SICK. SHARAE WANTED TO GO BUT BECAUSE SHE IS PREGNANT AND GETS NAUSEATED SHE DECIDED SHE SHOULDN'T (MAYBE NEXT TIME RAE). WE ATE LUNCH AT "JIMMY JOHN'S BEFORE GOING TO THE PARK. WE GOT SOME DIPPIN DOTS AND SHARED AFTER A FEW RIDES. IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY AND COLD WATER TASTED SO GOOD. OUR FAVORITE RIDES WERE "WICKED"-IT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT UP ON A ROLLER COASTER WITH 4 SEATS ACROSS, IT IS VERY SMOOTH. THEN IT DROPS YOU DOWN AT THE BEGINNING. WE WENT ON THAT ONE 3 TIMES. WE LIKED "COLOSSOL" IT WAS A ROLLER COASTER THAT HAD THE FUN LOOPS AND WOULD TAKE YOU UP SIDE DOWN. MY LEAST FAVORITE WAS THE RIDE CALLED "TO THE MOON" IT TAKES YOU STRAIGHT UP ON THIS HIGH TOWER, AND YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO GO STRAIGHT DOWN. WHEN YOU DO, IT IS SO SCARY. WE ONLY WENT ONCE ON THAT ONE. THE BOMBORA IS A NEW ROLLER COASTER, IT IS SMOOTH BUT NOT A REALLY BIG DEAL LIKE THEY MAKE IT OUT TO BE. ALL IN ALL THE CROWDS WERE NOT TO BAD, THE WAIT IN LINE WAS MAYBED 10 MIN. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER, IT GAVE ASH AND LANDON SOME TIME TO BE TOGETHER TOO.FUN DAY!!

ME AND ASH ON THE SUMARI RIDE...

SHARAE REMEMBER THIS RIDE? WE WENT ON IT YEARS AGO BEFORE YOU AND JOE GOT MARRIED. WE LOVED SCREAMING THEN TOO. IT SPINS AROUND AND FLIPS YOU UPSIDE DOWN AND RIGHT SIDE UP. THE SIGN ON THE RIDE SAYS "DON'T LOOSE YOUR SUSHI ON THIS RIDE". IT WAS FUN TO LAUGH AND SCREAM. LANDON TOOK THE PICTURES AND SAT OUT ON THIS RIDE.

BECAUSE THERE WAS 3 OF US IT MADE IT HARD TO RIDE TOGETHER. HERE I AM HITCHING A RIDE WITH A MAN AND HIS 2 KIDS. LANDON AND ASHLEY WERE RIGHT BEHIND ME, SO LANDON TOOK THIS PICTURE. I FORGOT MY CAMERA, SO LANDON TOOK ALL THE PICS ON HIS PHONE. THIS WAS THE SPIDER RIDE, IT SPINS YOU AROUND WHILE YOU RIDE ON IT LIKE A ROLLER COASTER.

We had a great day! Spent 5 hours at lagoon. We got there at 12:30 P.M on monday and rode almost every ride (the best ones anyway). We left at 5:00P.M it was a very hot day, around 90 degrees. We bought some cotton candy on our way out(you can't go to an amusement park without buying cotton candy). We called Bill and met up for dinner at "the Pie" our favorite Pizza place.

SNACKING ON SUNDAY EVENING...

LANDON PREPARING FOOD TO COOK ON THE GRILL WHILE ASHLEY WAS MAKING US A STRAWBERRY,BANANA SMOOTHEE.

WE LOVE YOU RAE RAE.

BYE, BYE RAE..SUNDAY,

SHARAE WENT TO CHURCH WITH ME THIS SUNDAY MORNING, BILL HAD TO TEACH PRIESTHOOD. SHARAE LEFT TO GO HOME AROUND 2:30 P.M. SHE NEEDED TO PICK UP JOE AND THE KIDS WHO WERE STAYING IN REXBURG WITH HIS BROTHERS FAMILY WHILE SHARAE SPENT THE WEEKEND WITH US. I WANT TO THANK JOE FOR LETTING SHARAE COME AND SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH HER MOM AND SISTER. THANKS ALOT JOE. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SACRIFICE. < IT WAS HARD FOR THE GIRLS TO SAY GOOD BYE TO EACH OTHER. THEY HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER. OUR GIRLS WEEKEND WAS EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MORE, WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR. IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THIS BONDING TIME TOGETHER AND JUST TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING.
