This Last weekend we had a blast. We finished off work on friday and headed out to a couple of wedding receptions that were going on that night. It was kind of nice to look around and see the different kind of things that we like and dont like. It gave us some ideas. We have just less than 6 more weeks to go and we are so excited. Yet, there is still so much more to do. with both of us working full time monday thru friday, and every saturday taken up until the wedding, we have very little time to do the little stuff that needs to be done. It can get very stressful but, again, the closer we get, the more excited we get.
After attending the two receptions, I talked to my cousin, Ashley, who was in town from Indiana to visit her father and to attend the family reunion. The family reunion was up at Cherry Hill water park here in utah. Just a couple of exits away from Lagoon Theme Park. My Grandparents, my aunt Tielynn with her husband and kids and my uncle todd with his daughter Ashley and a couple more of his kids were the only ones camping over night Friday night. After talking for a few minutes, CJ and I thought that it might be fun to go up and camp over night. CJ had drill the next day AND it was family day as well. Hill Airforce Base is only about 15 minutes away from the location we were camping so we figured... WHY NOT??? After trying to find a tent to sleep in (THANKS DAVID FOR YOUR HELP) and getting home to change and get ready to go, and driving there. We did not get there till 10:30 which ended up being a bummer because everybody had gone to bed by then. So, we just set up the tent and went to bed, just to find out that we forgot pillows. Pretty uncomfortable. The water park is right by the freeway and the camp site was PACKED. So we only woke up about every hour with babies crying in tents next to us and sirens going of.... ect... so our first camping trip was not the best experience but we still made the best of it.
CJ woke up at 6:30 that morning so that he could make it to drill by 7 only to find out that he forgot a razor and shaving cream. So he had to run to smiths down the street so that he could do that. I was awake after he left and could not go back to sleep so I stayed up and just hung out in the tent and waited just long enough for my grandparents to wake up. After they woke up, I went over to chat with them and to wait for CJ to get back to pick me up at 10:00 for FAMILY DAY! I had never been in base before so I was looking forward to seeing what it looked like and meeting some people and jus to see what it is really all about. They had MILLIONS of activities going on for all the little kids running around and everything was free. They had food, and Ice cone... things. Icecream bars, cotton candy, and cookies. They had music going on. volleyball, soccer, a rock climbing wall, bowling for little kids, hacky sack throw. They had a fire man that was on top of his fire truck ladder thing that was spraying water on the little kids. It was fun to watch all the little kids get soked. I was dying of heat and even got a little farmers tan that i am NOT fond of. That is the only thing that I got pictures of over the weekend and I will post them. There were some of the guys that were over by some of the weapons and showing them off and letting people hold them. CJ thought it was the coolest thing ("hot" in his words), that I was holding a Saw 249. so we put the vest on, with the hard helmet thing and the gun in my hands anc CJ just HAD to take a picture. It was fun though. CJ climbed the rock wall in around 30 seconds. he was so fast. The guy that was watching him was so surprised how fast he got up there. There was this lady and her husband there with these two beautiful parots. one was blue with yellow on her stomach. and the other one was green. I had never seen such a beautuful bird so up close before. The cotton candy made my teeth SO pink and CJ was making fun of me but I was enjoying it. So, I didnt mind. CJ had fun enjoying his Orange Cream Icecream bar as well.
After having a great day at family day, we headed back th Cherry hill to spend some time with my moms side of the family. I didnt get pictures of it but it was a blast. we got into our swim suits and attacked the crowds. We hung out in the lazy river for a good while and then headed to the slides. The slides were very fun. the first one you would fall into different pools. you would sit in little tubes and go down it. You could have up to 4 people in a train and getting 4 adults in a train, you feel like your arms are going to be rips out of their sockets but at the end you were laughing so hard, you just had to go back and go again. we also went on some other slides where you lay down on a map. CJ and I raced but it turned out not fair because the slides were different lenghts.
After the water park closed at 8:30, we headed back to camp all water parked out. My Aunt ordered pizza. So after changing into dry clothes we had some of that and then we had some icecream. we headed back home after that and enjoyed the day. We were so tired after getting home. We just crashed. Very tiring day but was such a BLAST!!!
